Comments on: Two trains in Goderich, Ontario – a rare sight that I didn’t really understand at the time was quite rare, I should have put more effort into a two train effort but the plow extra, with three Raillink units and two F units and of course, a Plow had my attention, for the entire day. This was my first plow chase and first of many, a day for me that is one of my highlights of my photography ‘career’. I have quite a few more keepers and I revisited my originals form this outing and pulled this one out for a rainy day. What I find striking is how GEXR seems to have had a large spareboard in this era – running extras regularly including, in the same week of this photo and at the same time two plow extras, one going to/from Goderich and the other to/from London. These were golden days on the GEXR for sure. Dare I say peak GEXR.

Very nice scene Steve. And the four-axle era was in it’s golden years as well with the SD’s coming in about two years I believe.

Rare catch indeed, nice! CEFX 6537 did return to it’s leassor and now wears the CEFX sky blue. I shot it in 2016 at ZTR Salford getting work done.

Note the prime mover at right and a parked CEFX 6537 which I believe was returned to leassor. Not sure where the prime mover came from..
