GEXR local 582 with Quebec Gatineau GP35 #2500 backs into the siding at the lessor know Guelph Junction in Guelph. The train arrived twenty minutes earlier after switching a lumber yard on the Fergus spur and is now preparing to pull this cut of covered hoppers into Guelph yard for local 580 which will arrive in about an half hour. It's alway nice seeing an old GP35 in action especially one that is still turbo charged considering the number of GP35s out there basically de-turboed into GP38s.
