While many railfans cringe at the thought of photographing units running long hood forward, many of us look at it as a luck chance to catch something out of the ordinary. While this train often operates with three units, for whatever reason, possibly mechanical issues, former leader 4522 was isolated and left in London yard. The other two units facing west meant today’s train would have to operated eastward long hood forward. I’ve always like CP’s small fleet of GP38AC’s, the oldest GP38’s on the roster. After hearing their clearance I headed to a new spot for me. The junction with CN’s Guelph subdivision. While a bit tight the old pole line and searchlight signals helped fill out the shot.
