WCRX GMD1 #1012 - Waterloo Central Rwy |
| Description: |
Waterloo Central GMD1 #1012 appeared around the curve and heading to the little passenger station of St Jacobs, Ontario, Canada, where we were waiting for our train. The loco was built by GMD in London, Ontario in 1958 as CN GMD1 #1012. It was rebuilt in 1998 to CN 1437 and later donated to the WCR in 2021.At WCR, it was restored to the distinctive original green-and-gold CN paint scheme and serves as power for the tourist train. |

The GMD1 profile has the slightly bumped out nose headlight and an Alco-like curved cab roof making it appear unusual at first glance. |
