On Wednesdays, GEXR 581 makes their weekly trip down the 10mph max Exeter subdivision. The two destinations are usually to switch grain cars at the Hensall District Co-op and Thompson's elevators, and then on to Exeter Co-op to drop off usually one boxcar for distribution. Here they are pictured in Clinton at the wye, where 581 makes a lift of one grain car, eventually to be dropped off in Hensall for loading. The matching set of 3030 and 2303 are in charge of 581 for the day.
