TRRY 1859 |
Description: |
GIO switcher tucks itself in on an old spur at Merriton. It will have a short wait until CN Train 421 passes. That's the (now-drained) Welland Canal just beyond the distant train signals. At bottom far left is the spur the GIO switcher will eventually make its way over to. |

STELCO STEEL #615 |
Description: |
Talk about all alone. I saw this neat little unit a few years back when it had just been rebuilt and was purring like a kitten. I suspect that it was either unable to perform as expected, or developed unexpected additional (costly) maintenance issues that sealed its fate. There's nothing to suggest that it will ever work again. |

STELCO STEEL #615 |
Description: |
The usually locked gate was open today, so I didn't hesitate to move up close for a few pics. It looked like it was being worked on, with the hood panels open on both sides - front and rear - and there was a GIO Industries maintenance truck parked nearby so I kind of expected to bump into somebody. But all was quiet. |
