Viewing Album:  London Ontario, EMD Plant and GEXR
 
By:Joseph Bishop
Dates:8/17/2011 - 8/17/2011
Album Info:Day Two of our trip to London found us looking for the EMD plant and the CN yard. At the CN yard there were two units CN 4701 and CN 4775. Continuing on we found the EMD plant. Currently EMD is producing SD70M-2's and SD70Ace's for railroads across North America. They also make some export units also. Currently EMD is producing SD70Ace's for Union Pacific. There were two painted in UP's current scheme on the property. There were also several SD70Ace's in primer awaiting paint and final touches. After looking at the CN yard and the EMD plant we headed for Stratford and the GEXR (Goderich Exeter Railway). On our way to Stratford we stopped at St.Mary's Ontario. They had the original Grand Trunk Station and a caboose on display beside the GEXR main line to London. In downtown St.Mary's we stopped at the Via station and found out that Via 85 was due from Toronto so we decided to wait it out. In true Via fashion a twenty five minute late train pulled in to pick up three passengers. Then we headed to Stratford. At the yard we found FEC 709. It is a SD40-2 that has been sent to the GEXR by Rail America. FEC 709 was sitting parked in the yard. Also CN 55413 a snow plow was also in the yard. While touring Stratford we heard the horn of a freight and we headed back to the yard. GEXR 3821 and LLPX 2210 were in charge. They worked the yard and tied up for the night.
