Nice pics and report CRD. Looks like a few CN GP9r's are still around but probably not much longer.

The slugs that were usually paired with the GP-9s seem to be gone. CN has been buying GP-38s from BNSF for local use around Ontario.

Neat to see ETL's SW14 painted in that retro scheme. Guess that's the new look for them?

End cab switchers, round roofed GP9s, and Budd built coach cars from the 1940s and 50s - it’s still a bit of a living history museum just across the river in Windsor! Thanks for sharing this photo set.

Why is there a big CN logo on the embankment in Toronto?
