Tucked behind an auto body shop is this well groomed part of the right of way that I didn't often shoot at. Unfortunately, Metrolinx has been fencing the entire right of way as fast as they can in the Kitchener area due to copious amounts of homeless trespassers looking to set up camp. It made for a nice spot to watch L540 as they  throttled up to go to Guelph as they leave the siding.

The lead unit is one of 5 MEI purchased former UP locomotives that were painted by MEI in East St. Louis. Another batch of former HLCX units has arrived in Toronto and they were spray painted with CN marks. With the distinctly non Canadian features CN's keeping it interesteing as they try to solve their four axie motive power woes by buying junkers.

  1. Nice spot indeed, one of my favourites for smoke shows.

  2. Thankfully said HLCXs were sent up north, likely either for repaint or transfer to another (unfortunate) terminal
