Comments on: Strange sightings on GEXR – For a day or two one of these SD70ACe’s was tested on GEXR, at the time 432 would meet 85 in Kitchener (which means terrible lighting) so an overcast day is the one to want. These were indeed somewhat strange days on GEXR since just about anything EMD London made would make an appearance on test runs. Kevin was there for this too :) http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh? Sun, 05 Apr 2026 20:30:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Stephen C.

There were LOTS of engines tested in 2004 when the ACE's were brand new, and then only a few tests after that to Toronto. There were also a number of tests done between London and Stratford, but I missed all of those. Driver, yes, there was someone from EMD on board on most if not all trips.

More than likely they have someone from GMD riding along with them. But it's my guess.

I must have had to go back to work though, Couldn't wait for the lift... I think I shot this thing twice - I forget how many days it actually ran.. I don't seem to think it was more than a week.
