Canadian Railroads > couple from "on this day"Date: 07/09/18 04:20 couple from "on this day" Author: hoggerdoug July 8, 2008 at the BC Rail diesel shop, south yard Prince George BC. These units were perhaps my favorite to operate. They looked good, felt heavy, rode well and sure could pull. There was a standard control stand, not that horrible "desktop" back breaker.

thanks for looking. Doug   Date: 07/09/18 09:15 Re: couple from "on this day" Author: Mberry Interestingly enough I shot BCOL 4652 leading CN 527 just yesterday afternoon in Montreal. In the first shot it is temporarly advancing over the St-Ambroise crossing before backing its lift up to the rest of its train. Forty-five minutes later with its lift completed, the train is heading for Taschereau Yard as it passes over the De Courcelle crossing.

Gee after 10 years thought they might have been painted silver. Doug
