What is the unit to the left of the 605 in the second picture..looks like a Canadian SW or GMD1?

If they take decent care of them, those 70-tonners will run forever!

After an ALCO S-2, these are the next best sounding switch engines. Deep down gutsy sounding, and yes, they seem to pull well!

For those that go outdoors in Canada, they likely have much better things to do like get the hockey rink ready for play.

It was a show when 7 of them were used to pull in 100 cars 14,000 tons from the UP.

Those hard days are done and it looks like their load is easier now.

I do too...the only way to record history if you want to keep a true image of today however, I have to choose my subject very carefully as it is getting very pricey to purchase and process the slide film.
