A photo of the transition from OSR to GEXR: The day before the last OSR trains would run on the Guelph Junction Railway, three GEXR locomotives were hurried over to Guelph by L540. Pictured is L540 with a pair of CN GP9's about to set the locomotives off on the north leg of the wye while OSR waits north of Woodlawn Road with OSR (nee CP) 1591. CN 542 with GMD-1 1408 solo was behind me waiting at the switch to CN, making for a brief flurry of activity during Lunch. OSR would take these three south to Guelph Junction as there were no plans to make a southbound run on the 29'th - all OSR power would head north and stay in Guelph as they ran three trains (with four crews).Train one and two | Recrew of Train two | Train Three - the last one to operate and would park at 6:23 PM the next day. A note about this spot today you'll find a small yard here, the track has been vastly expanded.
