Caption: In the days of Guilford, you never know what power would come over for the Fort Erie traffic interchange; since the Guilford Transportation Industries had taken control of North East US railroads; D&H, B&M, MEC, ST and was running them in a rather poor fashion as the infrastructure disintegrated due to lack of maintenance. By 1988, only 4 years after the takeovers, GTI was bankrupt. But in that brief time period, there was a bounty of colourful power coming over from Buffalo. A nice example here is MEC 593 and 591; rolling slowly up to the International Bridge, anticipating a light in order to cross. In the background, the once-busy CN shop and the Central Av bridge, which recently was replaced.

Who wudda thunk two MEC geeps would come in to Fort Erie on an interchange run? Although Guilford did a number on your beloved D&H, it was sure a colourful time!
Thanks for the comment. My “beloved” D&H did show up here a few times, as well did the B&M; but I never got to see a Springfield Terminal unit show up. That would have taken the cake!!

These units must have got lost somewhere.
Crazy rare shot…almost wouldn’t believe it but there they are
