Comments on: Last GEXR train at Ampacet. In the twilight of a chilly fall afternoon in Kitchener’s south end industrial/business area, GEXR 580 performs its last switching duties at Ampacet before the CN repossession of the Guelph Sub and associated spurs in two days from the date of this image. Power was SLA 3806 and QGRY 2008.

Yes, the slug had sat out of service in Stratford during at least the last year of GEXR operations on the Guelph Sub.

Thanks guys. @Marcus: I recall the slug and this unit were paired together for quite a while, mostly on GEXR 582 (the symbol CN 542 replaced).

Nice! I guess the slug kicked the bucket long before this shot.

Glad you guys were there to shoot this. Very nice.
