    Nice! I guess the slug kicked the bucket long before this shot.

    Thanks guys. @Marcus: I recall the slug and this unit were paired together for quite a while, mostly on GEXR 582 (the symbol CN 542 replaced).

    Yes, the slug had sat out of service in Stratford during at least the last year of GEXR operations on the Guelph Sub.
