Comments on: There was an abundance of yellow in an extremely weedy Kitchener yard as Goderich-Exeter Railway train 582 with LLPX 2236 sets-off cars while Waterloo Central Railway GE 70-Tonner 1556 is between assignments in the background. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

From the information at the time; the owner of 1556 is Don Broadbear who is a director of the Ontario Southland Railway (OSR) hence a major shareholder so it was being moved to OSR for storage after finishing its tenure on the Waterloo Central. Not too long after, it was moved to the Babcock-Wilcox facility in Cambridge to replace the unit that Don Broadbear had there. Here is a link to a photo that Steve Host took of it while on OSR in Salford last year. http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=34780 Thanks Brad.
