It is easy enough to understand why I miss morning trains like this one. But, in the name of progress, this entertaining fleet of geeps has been replaced by a couple of 4400 HP behemoths that now parade up and down the Grimsby sub every day. Not much variety any more. That looks a bit like an M-420 as last unit on this lashup. Pity I did not have a chance to take down numbers.

    Not often we see a lashup with that variety or numbers these days.

    Looks like 5509, 4531 0r 4530, 4515, 4584 or 4594 then the last three units I can’t make out while squinting!

    Great photo though. Last trip to the Falls we were touring around, and I am sure I crossed using the same crossing shown in your photo. I’d love to do a time machine if it is, but I have a feeling that I’d likely not see a train, unlike you where they was more of a chance.

    The fifth unit is an RS-18, with a longitudinal fuel tank so the number would be 36xx or 37xx. Then another GP9 and the M420.

    Seven units, four models… awesome.
