Canadian Railroads > More Huron Central

August 30th 2006, I caught this matched set of ex-CN GP40-2Ws, while driving home from out west.
Seen here eastbound at Spragge ON, approximately the mid point of their trip to Sudbury.

HC 3011, GP40-2LW ex CN 9403, the only unit no longer on their roster.
HC 3010, GP40-2W ex CN 9640
HC 3013, GP40-2W ex CN 9646
HC 3012, GP40-2W ex CN 9649

Shortly after I shot this they went on the ground. The units were not involved in the incident.

Nice catch with a bright paint scheme.

Just like many of the Genesee & Wyoming operations, when they run make a point to get some photos as there's always something that makes them tough to find. They seem to have almost enough business to make it, but not quite. Looks like some good access though. Curious how different the two ends of the run are.
