Slugless, it almost seems GEXR’s slugs spend more time out of service, then in. Maybe that’s the reason the other GW railways don’t mind sharing them. Over the years the GEXR has had several slug sets assigned to is operations in Southern Ontario. Sets 3800/800 and 3804/804 are currently assigned the the Guelph Junction operations although a few weeks ago 3800 was mated to 804. This week visit found 804 missing and 3800 running north long hood forward. A decent catch considering most crew probably prefer running short hood forward. This view visibly shows the extra cables added to the mother unit in order to power the slug. Here train 583 heads north just south of Corwhin after clearing out all the cars stored in the siding at Moffat.

  1. Nice shot! As I recall 3800 & 800 were originally on Huron Central

  2. 3800 is a QGRY unit, so originally it would’ve been from there.

    Nice shot Marcus
