4K: CN 584 on the CN Talbot spur with 3 GP9RMs (November 26, 2023)

Not too long ago, i chased CN 584 from London Ontario, to St Thomas. The train was powered by 3 GP9rm locomotives, the oldest that are active on CN's roster. These old soldiers originally wore CN green and gold paint and locked knuckles with 4-8-4 northerns, and they're still rolling out the miles under their original owner! Who knows how much longer they'll be around, so the chance to see 3 of them in action on a train was not a chance to be missed.

Train ID changes to 584 when it goes to St Thomas. Also strange there's no empty flats for Formet, that's usually a good chunk of the consist.

[@drewillman1529]

How often does this train go out to St Thomas? Do they stop anywhere else besides formet? It’s rare to see this train even as a life long Londoner

[@NolanWilson-ci7lr]

They come a couple time a week I see one yesterday day an heard another today I think maybe 3 times a week there and back but could be 4 times a week
