Caption: Living in the 1950’s in 2026. This pair sure have received a lot of attention lately, so myself and my boys were hoping luck would be in our side with a day off and a trip towards Woodstock. Thankfully FP9 6508 was out in the snow along with GP9 102. While all the attention goes to the veteran F unit the 102 deserves attention as well. EMD’s GP9 locomotive was one of the most successful models ever built and the 102 has the honour of being the very last one built when it was delivered to the Algoma Central Railway. I caught up with the pair after venturing through a cemetery in Ingesol. The power had just finished lifting 30+ auto racks from the CN interchange at Beachville and were heading back to home rails. Unfortunately up ahead switch and mechanical issues, thanks to the bitter cold slowed operations today, but the pair finally made Woodstock before darkness took over.
