Me and a friend took a small trip into Guelph to see what was around. I wanted to see the new OSR Woodlawn crossing in action, but OSR was nowhere to be seen at the north end when we were there. We headed for CN Guelph Jct where we caught GEXR 580 switching and running up the Fergus Sub to the interchange.
This is the first time I've seen this happen in Guelph, cars going around the crossing gates!
