Canadian Railroads > MLW Monday

A couple of prints I found in a box of stuff.  PGE 628 & 576 at Chetwynd BC. I'll date this image late September  early October 1973. This train could possibly be the Dawson Creek Switcher or the Fort Saint John Turn.  Slide film was not readily available when I was working in Chetwynd and a lot of my photos were taken with print film instead of slides. Hopefully I'll locate the negatives for these and other pictures I have.

The image posted was a scan of a 3-1/2 X 5 inch print. The print has a matte finish and appears as a blemish on the scan image. Any suggestions of what scan corrections can be done to eliminate the matte blemish.

Good stuff. 
The RS-18's looked great with the big plows on them.
By the 80's most of them had last their plaws.
I think that I only ever saw one set up that way.

Finding the negs (good luck!) is of course the best bet. Nice post regardless. It's neat how often you notice something you've never seen before, like the grab iron on the roof above the headlight. Something for Jon Voigt to hang on to?

I seem to recall 628, 629 & 630 were tailend of an order for another railroad. I might be wrong.
Also checking another website  http://www.cnrphotos.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=49358&g2_page=2
there are pictures of 629 with no plow taken 1970 and later with a plow pilot image taken 1977 Gets confusing.
