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.
