Three CEFX GP20D's roar as SOR 597 struggles to shove clear of signal 228N. Once the conductor walks up and VIA 73 passes, the normally nocturnal train will depart for home rails.

    They couldn’t make it out of Brantford! They had one of their locomotives fail and had to cut off part of the train and leave it on the Hagersville Sub. Then another crew had to come up to retrieve the train…but they ran out of hours. 597 was observed passing through Hagersville at 2am light power to rescue the stranded locomotive and pick up the rest of its train. Just another day on the railroad!

    A GP20D failed? That’s unheard of! :) I bet G&W can’t wait for the lease to run out on them.
