April 29, 1995, is delivery day for EMD SD70M demonstrator 7024. Shortly, CN 4105 will get the light and proceed to shove the new unit into track 50 of London yard. |
In
this shot from April 1995, EMD 7024, an SD70M demonstrator, is shown in
the care of CN 4105, the London yard engine. CN accessed the north
side of the GMD plant off its Guelph (previously Thorndale) Subdivision
in east London. In later years, this trackage was operated as a portion
of the GEXR, with deliveries handled by that railway. The two units
would have followed the Guelph Subdivision to London Junction, where
permission would have been given to enter the north track of the Dundas
Sub and cross over the south track to the yard lead. The short train
has pulled west of the signal bridge at Rectory St and is awaiting a
light to allow it to head for track 50 in the yard. The track it
currently occupies is referred to as Walker's Siding.
