Canadian Railroads > MLW Monday-A PGE Whatzit?Date: 08/29/16 07:14 MLW Monday-A PGE Whatzit? Author: arwye Pacific Great Eastern 569 in a very short lived ( less than four years) appearance. Suffering wreck damage after hitting a logging truck sometime in 1969-70, it was rebuilt with a RS10/18 short hood in 1970 and photographed by "unknown" at North Vancouver shortly after.
By 1974 she was rebuilt again with a low hood and British Columbia Railway paint. I found this rare gem on eBay. Richard Yaremko  Date: 08/29/16 07:46 Re: MLW Monday-A PGE Whatzit? Author: PHall Not a RS10/18 short hood, not tall enough. But it looks like the shop used the design when they built theirs.

Also unusual is the carbody filter arrangement just before the radiator.
