A gathering of 3 BN pre-merger schemes + a 'Green Machine'
Author: valmont

My photo @ Pasco WA on 7/4/70 ... missing the SP&S but this group was just fine. That's an SP Alco peeking in ... BN temporally had several 6 axle Alco's post-merger for additional help, Note the thin numbers on the BN GP .... not sure how many got that version. That GN SD45 got exhaust hoods ... previous info was that only 3 did.

... .and no, this wasn't a set-up .... pure Independence Day luck.

That's brilliant, and unimaginable to an eastern Canadian who started shooting in 1976. Tiny nitpick (please don't hate me), the sheet metal behind the cab of the SD45 is a snowshield over the central air intake, not exhaust.
