Canadian Railroads > MLW Monday CN

A couple of CN C-424 shots; I really should have made more of an attempt to get these running. 1975 at Southwark Yard.. The CP's were photographed everywhere, but not so much on CN. 

Wondering if anyone has a photo with a trio of CN 424's.

Great locomotive consist. Loving the GP9 with a barrel headlight too. When did they remove those?

C-424's were known to some executives in CN's mechanical dept as "Dogs".

Guess that they were not big fans!

The fans don't have to pay attention to the bottom line...

Having the photo is one thing, time to dig it out and scan is another. I have B&W of a quartet on the point of old hotshot #201 headed through Ottawa for lease to BCR, and I think a smoking trio coming up to Snider diamond. In both cases, I wasn't set up for ideal angles, but we'll see if I can rouse myself to do the work.

Not trying to give you work! It was just a thought; as I had never seen that happen. No pressure!

Happy to have an excuse and motivation other than random, so I'm not feeling pressure; I'll post on an MLW Monday if I manage it.
