Down on Beaverbrook: Green GP9RM…

Not that you’d know it from these black and white photos, but the green Halifax and South Western GP9RM was trundling about Beaverbrook one morning last month and I grabbed these shots on my way to the office with my old Olympus D10 SLR…

The street can feel like a tight corridor when cars are placed on both sides of the road, especially when a truck is in the way.

The HSWR GP9RMs are a strange blend of the CN and GTW rebuilds, quite unique but full of character and I did linger to hear her 567 heart (with 645 head) and it’s distinctive blend of staccato raw and base rumble. Wonderful. Until next time, more soon…
