| OSR 501 was resting at CP Quebec St yard in London before being delivered to its new owner. |
By Peter Mumby. Ontario Southland Railway began its existence in 1994 as a provider of industrial switching on a contract basis. It originally owned two General Motors yard locomotives which it operated at a Petro Canada refinery in Clarkson, Ontario. When the company later won the contract to operate the Guelph Junction Railway, additional locomotives were required. MLW S-13 number 501 was one such unit. Built in January 1959 as PGE 1001, it later operated as BCOL 501 and GWWD 501 before heading east to work for OSR.
