Comments on: The blue two will soon be no more. On December 10, 2013, GSCX 7362 was delivered to Lambton Diesel Specialist Inc. in Sarnia to be repainted in to Genesee & Wyoming corporate colours. GSCX 7369 and GSCX 7362 are seen throttling up heading east out of Guelph after adhering to the slow order through the City.

Actually it’s been 2303 on 432/431.

3030 is in Goderich out of service, and 9392 is out of service with a blown turbo.

7362 is currently getting painted in Sarnia .

FYI, CP was at one time looking to purchase those GATX/GSCX 73xx units, which is why there’s the big gap in the CP roster of 5432-5446. Evidently they decided otherwise.

It’s funny you should say that Arnold because I have a whole lot more shots of 7369 than I do 7362. I’m hoping the three SD’s get cycled to LDS over the winter so we’ll have lots of G&W orange to photograph in the Spring.

Ya know, Rob; I saw that 7369 (and a mess of its cousins) leading so often on the D&H back in the 1990s that I hoped I’d never see the likes of it again……..but……… )

The past two days there has been a change in the locomotive roster for GEXR 580/582
(Stratford to Vaughan). GP40-2W 3030 (nee CN 9431, ex SOR 9431) has been paired with 7369. I believe ex SP SD 45-2 9392 is on route to Sarnia to be repainted. however I can’t be sure. it may have just been switched out for servicing.
