I heard of an eastbound CEFX, GEVO combination from my fellow railfanning buddy Jay down in Woodstock, I drove down to Guelph Jct(Campbellville) and I caught the London Pickup doing some work on the GJR's wye. SD40-2's5719 lead 5640 to the west switch of Guelph Jct. As it proceeded to the switch I noticed in the background OSR 181 and 505 creaping into the Jct on the west leg of the GJR's wye. After the London Pickup left, it gave room for OSR to do some switching. The engines backed up from the west leg of the wye and went into the Rocket Lumber spur and picked up 3 loaded boxcars. It later put in 1 boxcar and 3 loaded bulkheads. As OSR parked the 2 engines in the shed CP train # 242 lead by CEFX 1053 and 1022 and CP 8749! (MY FIRST GEVO!!). I then headed home, not bad for an hour trackside. Thanks again Jay!
