Comments on: The GEXR was of ‘newborn’ status when this image was taken, showing here GEXR 177 & 180 with a long load of salt cars ready to depart for Stratford as crew finish some last minute chatter. Business at left, Champion, was a popular outfit in town, bright yellow road graders often parked waiting for shipment south. Volvo moved in after Champion left, and now I believe the property is vacant. Anyone?? http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

My two favorite GEXR units Titania and Flagstaff paired together. Wonder where Paulina and Portia were? As for Champion both my grandfathers worked there as a welder and mechanist. As far I know and my last visit that way it was empty. I'll have a gander for you next time I'm up that way. Oh wow! My two favorite GEXR units Titania and Flagstaff paired together.
