Factory fresh SD60M units UP 6342 and 6345. From the background, I suspect that the engines are on the GMDD test track in London ON, or going to CP Quebec Street yard. Map location is approximate. Date is from an online source of build date. I would appreciate feedback from the rpca community. The UP colour scheme (before adoption of the big flag) was one of my favorites, and it helps that the trucks, fuel tank, etc are not black.

    Definitely the backyard of GMD, no mistaking that. Probably testing.

    Thank you for verifying that. I think the map location I provided is off – that third track looks to be diverging, could be east side of the wye up to the plant.

    Move the flag closer to that first switch and you’ll be fine.

    It is the east side of the wye, where they bring out the toys for testing. :) .
