There are usually 4 to 5 SD40's stationed at Spence to switch
the Honda factory

For Olympic desperados here is CP 234 at Dorval yesterday. I'll be surprised if the Olympic units get repainted quickly (or ever). The VIA F40's are still running around advertising Spiderman 2, Telus, and the CBC.

Nice photo KG...
Not one for stealing others Photos I just want some of my own....Then I can create decals for myself...

I'm just surprised how many of the Olympic ones are so bloody dirty, you'd think a little corporate pride would mandate they be kept a little cleaner than the rest?
Great info on the sidings, thanks!
