Comments on: A surprise visitor at Agincourt in the form of GP9u 1533. Originally a high hood unit #8703 built in 1957 it was chop nosed and renumbered in 1981.

Actually the red barn is #9001, the 9006 is stored on the other side of the roadway on plant #2 trackage. You can see these units clearly from Markham overpass especially when the few trains in the yard pull out.

As for the red barn, the number boards were likely pilfered while the unit was in storage in another part of the yard by a roadway. This happened to all the units that were parked there for a couple of years.

Still in service? and what happened to that red barn? did they put the ditchlights and numberboards away to protect them so the engine may go back in service one day with the same ones or new ones?
