Throwback Thursday - Peter Mumby - GMDD London Part 1


by Keith MacCauley 

The story of the Canadian Division of EMD is fairly well known. Opened in 1949, the first locomotive delivered was T, H &B GP7 No. 71. A name change to General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) took place in 1969. In 1989, following the implementation of Free Trade, all EMD locomotive assembly took place in southwestern Ontario. Truly a magical time. Sadly, following acquisition by Caterpillar, the London facility was later shuttered in 2012. Fortunately, London was also home to a number of talented railfans, including Peter. Some of his new EMD locomotive material as follows.
