Railpictures.ca - Marcus W Stevens Photo: The year 2016 has thrown many challenges at the GEXR as far as motive power goes. The scene here at Guelph makes one wonder “who’s railroad is this?” There is no home power visible here this day as train 580 pulls into the yard with borrowed QGRY GP38 2008 in charge. Behind 580 is train 582 out of Preston with borrowed SLR GP40X slug set 3806/806 filling in for ailing and borrowed QGRY GP35 2500. The crew of 582 have just started up the GP40X and will now go grab 580s train and bring it into the yard before 580 heads back to Guelph with cars lifted from 582. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Nicely done, I really like position of the crew member, great job bringing movement into an otherwise static scene.
