Caption: As evidenced by the stenciling on the sidewall of the cab, this ex-CN GMD-1 most recently did time at the I.N.C,O, facility in Copper Cliff, ON before being retired once again to a deadline. Here it sits with four of its brothers, all waiting their fate, and hoping for yet another life with a shortline or industrial railroad somewhere.

Also interesting, the green paint of the original 1950′s paint job is starting to bleed through the noodle on the lead unit.
In 2006, a friend and I rode our motorcycles down to Arkansas to visit an old friend. On the west side of the state, I was on a bridge and looked down and saw two GMD-1′s, still in CN paint, switching an industry. These critters get everywhere!
