8512-8522 were Toronto-assigned units, many from that group were assigned to Spadina for passenger train switching duties. A very neat thing around Spadina Roundhouse was that load test box on the right, made from three dynamic brake sections removed from old scrapped CN C-Liners (you can see the teardrop windows from when they were behind the cab section).
