2019, who would have thought so much would have changed in the last two years, GMD1's retired, Dash 8's gradually vanishing and of course, Covid 19. Its hard to believe the GMD1's went out with a rather unimpressive bang. 1444? of the group was kicking around Hamilton for a few weeks after the order was given and just like that, back to MacMillian Yard. The GP9u's must not be longing for this world much longer with I believe 30~? still active on the roster, don't look a gift horse in the mouth for too long!

    Nice photo. Great looking engine….theres something about these old relics! I’d say this is a good ‘roster’ shot. :)

    There are 80 gp9′s still on the roster. Not in danger yet.

    None. All off the roster as I write this message. They are still on the property however. It’s been a couple months already.
