Comments on: 2022 was not a good year for the York-Durham Heritage Railway: the continued pandemic, a tornado, and significant ticket disputes made the year one to forget for the tourist operation. However, from a railfan perspective, the end of 2022 also saw the railway borrow 1603, the ONR’s rebuilt GMDD GP9, to alleviate the YDHR’s power shortage. Seen at Uxbridge, 1603 has been reunited with 1310, a former ONR MLW RS-3 which left the ONR roster back in 1985. After a stint with Abitibi Price, the 1310 arrived in Uxbridge in 1997. The loan of 1603 brings the YDHR’s roster of ONR equipment temporarily to six: 1603, 1310, and four passenger cars, two of which are visible in the left of this image behind the MOW crane and the yard’s ever-watchful owl. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
