Canadian Railroads > MLW Monday - Chopnose RS-3s at St. LucDate: 02/10/20 19:05 MLW Monday - Chopnose RS-3s at St. Luc Author: feclark From April 16, 1977, and my first visit to St. Luc yard in Montreal, this pair of chopnose RS-3s, 8445 and 8450, were working the hump. The lighting forced me into the coupled shot, unfortunately. These were definitely not elegant, but very functional as far as providing visibility. The spliced Multimark was collateral damage in the effort.
