Comments on: Once the GP40’s were mainly bumped from mainline duties it became a rule for me the catch as mainly trains with one leading. Not mainly because it was a GP40 but more because they almost always had something neat in the consist trailing. This day train 399 has a very ratty 9540 leading with new number boards, trailing was UP “flag” SD70ACE and SD70M along with a CN SD75. A decent EMD mix. The scenery at Bayview by this time was changing rapidly as the new third track was being built. Sadly this vantage point soon disappeared as greenery rapidly grew in and CN added a new signal bridge almost up to the road.

Great consist worth chasing.

In 2005, GEXR leased CN 9540 for a brief time as well.

Nice! I’d sure shoot this under cloud now a’days.

Actually chased it to Brantford, but this was the best shot as snow blew in.

Jeeez …. and I bet you didn’t even chase this.
