Hammer down: Engr. Snook has SLA 3806 firmly in his control as the boys head back to Kitchener making every effort to get up to the mile a minute track speed of the Guelph subdivision. And boy do they ever succeed in the straightaway between Hanlon and Breslau: The action here is always nothing short of awesome. Hats off to the GEXR boys who continue to run a great show and display some great railroading in 2018. Not many places you can find a former GP40X (Now classed GP40-3) in service..

    I re-thought how to best describe this, and I came up with the term “give ‘er exeter railway” track speed, notch 8 awesomeness.
