6167 Move to John Galt Park
On November 14, 2020 locomotive 6167 moved from it's location near Guelph Central Station to John Galt Park in Guelph. This move was necessary because of Metrolinx's plans to increase the size of the Guelph Central Station. The contract for the move was awarded to Greenspace group, with the actual move of the locomotive sub-contracted to Mammoet. 6167 was moved across the Metrolinx Guelph Subdivision, through the Guelph Metro hub, down MacDonell street where it was maneuvered into place at John Galt park, adjacent to the Guelph Junction Railway tracks. This is a collection of photos taken by group members capturing the move.
