What's interesting

A trio of 1000's series GMD-1 regularly worked the Scarborough Junction yard and the CN Uxbridge Subdivision Scarborough - Lindsay – Peterboro run throughout the late 1960's; by late 1970's MLW RS18's worked the line, then rebuilt GMD GP9's

per Trackside Guide, rebuilt 1989 with B B trucks at Pointe St. Charles and renumbered CN#1423 Class GR-412a

GMD1u CN#1423 has worked throughout the CN system, from Saint John to Oakville to Sault Ste Marie to Fort Saskatchewan to Edmonton – try searching CN 1423
