Comments on: With it’s work completed in Cambridge, borrowed QGRY GP35 #2500 is busy working the unusually full Guelph yard before returning to Kitchener. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

This is 5 days a week and has been the usual pattern for a few months. The remainder of XV yard is in service after GEXR put in new ties and switch work, only the very eastmost track in the yard is out of service, and this is a fairly recent development. GEXR also won the Traxxside Malt contract from CP so it's all likely to support this new business. 582 does perform a few unusual moves from time to time, such as working the north industrial, or using the north wye instead, working XV yard and handling malt cars as you have pictured is certainly unusual.
