| GMD plant switcher #57 is working just south of Oxford St on June 16, 1989. It is engaged in shoving Via 6449 into one of the erecting bays on the north side of the complex. |

GMD
plant switchers tended to come and go over the years. They came from a
variety of sources. Some were purchased used, while others were
transferred from the parent EMD plant or leased from other sources.
Number 57 was purchased from CP Rail after all the Toronto Hamilton and
Buffalo switchers were declared surplus. The unit spent its first year
on the property wearing a patched version of the TH&B paint scheme.

It
is exactly one year later (June 16, 1990) and Diesel Division 57 has
been freshly painted in time for the plant's 40th Anniversary
celebrations. |
