Caption: Critter Time !! I was out on a wander to see what was going on around the peninsula when I happened across this little unit in Port Colborne. It was sitting at the Maple Leaf Mills plant down by Lake Erie. This property is now known as Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). The switcher arrived from Conagra in Buffalo in 1995 and upon the takeover by ADM, departed for an affiliated ADM plant in Decateur, Illinois in 2002. I had wondered about the history of this unit until Michael Klauck informed me the information was available at Raymond Kennedy's Old Time Trains site. Thanks, Mike!! And to Raymond, of course, for such an informative site.
