Comments on: Brakeman makes a joint on the CB&CNS 2035 East as the GEXR Goderich to Stratford train makes a lift in Seaforth, Ontario on a day when the temperature dipped to -37!!

Parent company “Railtex” at the time was short power on the GEXR, so they transferred 2035 to the GEXR for temporary service. Sadly they blew out the air starter not too long after this shot was taken, and when they arrived in Stratford the unit was parked. It went back to the CB&CNS, but as Iunderstand it, it was never repaired.

Ya, that was a Helm Unit. I have a pic of it in Windsor before delivery to GEXR.

Probably an HLCX leaser that GEXR had on startup.
