context_page_description: The Goderich–Exeter Railway is a short line freight railway that operates around 181 miles of track in Southern Ontario. Created in 1992, it was the first short line railway in Canada to be purchased from a class I railway, in this case Canadian National Railway. It took over operation of further CN trackage in 1998. As of 2004, the railway has 44 employees. It is headquartered in Stratford, Ontario, and owned by short-line railroad holding company Genesee & Wyoming.
context_section_description: As of 2017, the railway owns 13 locomotives, which were acquired used.  Its first four locomotives, purchased between 1992 and 1994, were given names of Shakespearean characters (#177 was named "Titania", #178 "Paulina", #179 "Portia", and #180 "Falstaff"), as Stratford is the home of the Canadian Shakespearean Festival.  Unit #'s 178, 179, and 180 have since been sold to other railways.  GEXR was acquired by Genesee & Wyoming Inc in 2012. The railway also leases a few locomotives.  All of its locomotives were made by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and include EMD GP38s, EMD GP35s, EMD GP40s, and EMD SD40-2s.
