Uhhh if you told me a few years ago this would have been possible, I would have laughed and said it was a railfan's dream. I humbly submit for corrections, but I do believe this is the last GTW painted GP40 on the roster, and a former DT&I unit at that. What a Gem. Now have a look at the trailing motive power. Here the 0700 is finishing switching Parkdale Warehousing and about to run around their train, ending an end-to-end chase on the N&NW spur with this highly unusual locomotive for Hamilton locals.
