Caption: This will only be for the young folks who are new to this hobby, but before the changes in 2018-2020, GEXR serviced the Guelph Subdivision and OSR serviced Guelph Junction Railway. GEXR has since switched to the Guelph Junction Railway and CN took back the Guelph Subdivision and its branches. Here's a meet of both Guelph trains in the before times as one sits on the wye waiting for OSR to clear. Typical of the era, GEXR leased a few locomotives from Locomotive Leasing Partners (and other companies such as CEFX) over the years keeping it colourful until G&W orange really took hold a few years later, and the leased locomotives were bought out and painted. This locomotive is now GEXR 2123 and lives up north right now

Note: The OSR locomotives are out of service at Salford. 181 sometimes gets out but I think it’s currently OOS.
181 is out with electrical issues. Great shot Steve.
