Comments on: It has been awhile since GP 9s worked the QNS&L. Here we see QNSL 157 and 151 working a cut of cars in the Sept Iles yard. The 157 was retired a couple of months after this 1981 photo was taken. The 151 fared better, having gone to the Owego & Harford in NY State in 1993, then on to the Ottawa Valley/Southern Ontario Rwy in 1997 as their 4205. She was scrapped in 2008. I recall this unit working around Brantford not that long ago. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Funny how both worked for years together, and later worked not too far from each other in the GTHA.
