Since this was the morning of Day 1 of the CN takeover of the Guelph Sub, I planned to leave for work earlier to have time to stop at the tracks on the way. This is what I found. GEXR 580 parked dead in the siding and covered with snow from the first snowfall of the season (actually the last decent snowfall to hit K-W so far this season!). This was the last time I shot GEXR in Kitchener. This was a surreal moment.

    This is an historic image at many levels. Very nicely composed as well Kevin.

    The snow on the units makes it seem like it’s been left behind – in effect GEXR was left behind.
