On the evening of November 5th, CN ran a second section of L546 up the Uxbridge Subdivision to retrieve two heritage rail cars from Lincolnville, ON for delivery to MacMillan Yard via the Uxbridge, Kingston, and York Subdivisions. Due to not having an SBU available, the movement was restricted to 15 miles per hour for the whole trip, limiting the crew's ability to make Mac Yard, thus the train was yarded in Oshawa at daybreak. CN L54632 05 consisted of CN GP9 4125, ex-ONT coach RPDX 2514, and an ex-VIA/nee-CN baggage RPDX 9636...the Rapido reporting marks tip us off as to the equipment's destination, which I can only guess will be Salford on the Ontario Southland, who will do the job of repainting both cars at the behest of the VIA Historical Association.

In this scene, lone Geep 4125 tiptoes past the platforms at Markham GO station, headed northwest towards Lincolnville layover facility where the two cars are parked awaiting a lift.
