Railpictures.ca - Stephen C. Host Photo: JLCX 3502, a GP35 formerly of the Denver and Rio Grande, has its gyrolight rotating while the crew close the gate on WP Warehousing’s property. The GIO crew will return to the N&ST Spur and head back toward the Grimsby sub to cross over onto the Thorold spur. Formerly known as the Grantham Subdivision in the CN days, in the GIO days this line was officially called, on their timetable and paperwork the N&ST Spur. This locomotive was returned to JLCX and is no longer being used by GIO. What a treat this was to hear this thing working though, I enjoy any EMD with a turbo. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Historic photo in many respects. One correction though, that’s just an amber beacon, not a gyro-light. Gyro-lights were in the headlight housing.

Roger that – thanks for the note. All I know is this one rotates and isn’t a modern flashing kind.

Gio suffered many issues with this unit during its time here. I think it was sidelined more so than not. Nice to have a colourful unit here for once though.
