This skittles lashup didn't last all that long in Kitchener, by our account about 3 days. The GTW and 4902 were sent back to Toronto a couple days ago. On this day it was used on L540 making a run to Guelph and back, then to the Huron Park spur instead of the usual 568. I expected it on 568 and didn't know it was on 540, so went over during my hour long lunch break as I'm quite close to Kitchener from work (If I go into Guelph I won't have time to go anywhere else) - and they came back from Guelph to my surprise and yarded their train! After this I had to go back to work but I think getting a couple images was worth the time spent. I'm curious what's next for CN's four axle motive power scene as they continue to surprise us with things you just can't make up.

  1. Nice angle Steve.

    Tuesday, September 19 was the last day for this consist. The following day L568 ran with BNSF 2090/4725. Then the next day L568 had 7038/4716. Literally almost a new consist everyday this week.

  2. Could almost pass as a GEXR lashup :)
