It was the start of spring and the weather in southern Ontario was more like summer with the temperature at the time of this photo over 20 degrees. FEC 709, part of the GEXR fleet at the time, rests in the afternoon sun waiting for its next assignment (likely came in on GEXR 431 earlier).

    Nice catch Kevin, it must have been quite the thrill to see one of these engines so far from home!

    I saw this unit in Florida a few years ago as they are still around. The FEC logo is nice, but the UP paint is not :)
