Comments on: The Ontario Northland Railway finally marched into the big leagues with their first GMD SD 75I locomotives in 1999. Six were ordered. The head of the class, #2100, was staged by the Englehart offices for Open House employee inspection. Yet to turn a revenue mile. Unfortunately, first in, first out. The 2100 was wrecked in an accident December 2011 and subsequently retired. The rest soldier on.
