A clear wintery day at Guelph Junction finds "The Goderich" wayfreight sitting in front of the old station, with a pair of leased blue Baltimore & Ohio GP38's on today's train: 4813 and 4809. Always a little power short, the B&O's were among the variety of power leased at the time by CP, which also included Chessie and GO units.

    Great to see this photo. I grew up directly across from the Chatham St.roundhouse and have a photo of me in the cab of 4809. The mechanic on a quiet summer Sunday invited me up and after some coaching allowed me to run two or three lashed locomotives up and down the rails. I was probably no older than 8 at the time. I assume those days are long gone, for a young railfan.

    I worked an extra out of London in 1985 with one of those B&O units leading a 4200. The 4200 led on our homeward trip. We took a train of empty salt hoppers to Goderich & came back with the van, picked up a plow at Guelph & cleared the industrial tracks. When we were going over the CN at Milverton southbound, a CN snowplow passed underneath. I didn’t have a camera with me.
