Great shot! This is so fitting for the Goderich area in Winter. But that’s December!

Did the GSWR unit lead much if at all?

Thanks for the comment Stephen. To my recollection GSWR 2127 didn’t lead as often as the other units, however I did manage to get it leading a number of times. It was also briefly assigned to Kitchener in 1999.
