	GE – Built B36 – 7, ex ATSF 7498, now in service with Rocky Mountaineer Vacations, eastbound for Calgary at the Banff AB station in the mid -1990s, before bi-level dome cars were introduced into service. The locomotive was built in November 1980. VIA service ended on the transcontinental service through Calgary in January 1990 and RMV seized upon the occasion to run a luxury train between Vancouver and Calgary/Banff both ways and haven’t looked back since.

	RMR 8017, sill in the old Rocky Mountaineer paint scheme has just completed another assignment and is backing away from the station and wying into the Jasper yard to make it ready for the next day’s run during the evening of May 1st, 2009. It operated in the US, after being built in August 1968 by General Motors (Ser # 34291), and its first owner was Penn Central (PC 3114), then Conrail (CR 3114). Its next owner was the Missouri-Kansas Railroad (MKT 239). The loco was then sold to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP 9956/675), before being disposed to dealer National Railway Equipment (NRE 9956). Prior to service on the Rocky Mountaineer the loco was rebuilt in Capreol, Ontario from a GP40 to a GP40-2.

	Pennsylvania diesels 9774 (EMD F7A 1500hp built 1951) and unknown B unit (likely 9774B) at a location in the US. Most of the Pennsy units were painted in “ Brunswick Green” (Black with just a drop of green). From research in the roster, it appears that the B unit was given the same number as its A (leading) unit, with the B designation. Also that Brunswick green was for mosly for freight, with passenger units being tuscan red or plain red, depending upon the train’s importance. It all varied. “As delivered”, Pennsy units were Brunswick Green with 5 gold stripes. The apparatus on the rooftop of the 9774 is an early Trainphone induction radio antenna setup. These antennae were removed after the installation of a Motorola radio system in the leading unit. See a calendar colour photo in Brunswick Green, stripes and installed antennae at http://www.rrmuseumpa.org/about/roster/ 5901tellerpainting.htm In 1968, Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) merged with New York Central Railroad (NYC) to become Penn Central Transportation, which in turn morphed into Conrail.(CR) in the mid-70s Conrail broke up into other entities in the 1990s.

	GO Transit F40PH 513 trails a commuter consist as an Auxiliary Power Control Unit; inbound for Union Station in this 1978 shot near the CNE in 1978. That year the CNE was celebrating “Once a Century” and transportation was the main theme. Along with one of the brand GO new bi-level available for inspection on the grounds were other pieces of Toronto rolling stock used within Toronto throughout the century. Notice the CN Tower, which gets about 100 lightning strikes during the summer. The 513, built in 1978 by the Diesel Division of General Motors in London Ontario (Ser# A3498), was sold to Amtrak in 1990 and became their 413.

	GO Transit # 552 east of the downtown station in Calgary, December 1991. The locomotive was built as an F59PH by the General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD), London Ontario in 1990 (Ser# A4918). After service with GO Transit in Southern Ontario, it was retired in 2011 to the Agence Métropolitaine de Transport and renumbered AMXX 1346 to operate in the Montreal area (according to some online pictures of this series, still in GO livery). With the advent of newer model locomotives on the AMT roster, the locomotive and others in the 1340-series were in Pittsburg in 2013, ready for resale. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx ?id=3496361

	Go Transit Locomotive #552 and Bi-level Car #235 were brought to Calgary, so that dignitaries could study the feasibility of commuter transportation along the Calgary-Edmonton corridor, the second busiest, next to the Windsor-Québec City. The study has now been ongoing since at least 2004, with 3 possible alignments considered. http://vanhorne.info/files/vanhorne/HSRFullReport (1062004)0.pdfHere, we see the two GO units resting on the east side of the Calgary downtown station, around December 1991. In 2008, yet another study now considered the Bombardier high speed train and tried one of the units but nothing came about because the cost does not justify the load at around $65 one-way. http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/Content /publications/production/AIT_Market_Assessment_Full Rpt_02-2008_FINAL_rev.pdf In years past, an RDC provided the service but it was discontinued by VIA fo r lack of ridership and many accidents, along well over 100 crossings along the 183 miles/295 km corridor, in use for 90 years in passenger service between the two cities, by the CPR and then VIA, up to about 1985. Conventional equipment at speed, takes about 3 hours. In 2014, the project was placed on hold yet again.

	GO Transit Auxiliary Power Control Unit (APCU) leads 906 leads an outbound commuter along the Toronto Lakeshore, in May 1977 APCUs (called NPCU – Non-Powered Control Unit in the US) only supplied Head End Power (electricity) for the coaches without the tractive effort; the work was actually being done by the locomotive at the other end, in a push-pull operation. In 1977, the common locomotive model used at the other end, was the GP40TC, shown elsewhere in this page. Born Ontario Northland 1911, it was sold to GO who numbered it 9864, then 906. The 906 and other APCUs were scrapped in 1995. Read about GO Transit 900-911 at: http://www.cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=GO_Transit _900-911 (a picture of the 906 is missing from that page but we have it!).

	Rocky Mountaineer Railway 8018 stored between runs at New Westminster BC on June 15th, 2007. The GP40 unit was built by the Electromotive Division of General Motors in the US, September 1958 ((Ser#34310), for the Penn Central Railroad 3133. Penn Central then became Conrail, and the loco carried the same number. Next, it moved to the Missouri–Kansas-Texas Railroad and became MKT 243. Its next owner was the Union Pacific Railroad, as UP 9960, then 678. Near the end of its working life by now, it was sold to the National Railroad Equipment, a large scale locomotive dealer in the US as their 9960. They rebuilt it as a GP40-2 and resold it across the border to the Rocky Mountain Railway, where it operated on the Vancouver-Calgary/Vancouver Jasper, before newer locomotives replaced it. Repainted in the Whistler Mountaineer scheme, it then operated between North Vancouver and Whistler BC.

	Ontario Northland 1515 at Kapuskasing, Ontario in the Green/Yellow paint scheme it wore around 1975. It was built in July 1953 (ser# A526) by the Diesel Division of General Motors in London Ontario (GMDD) as an FP7 with a steam generator, able to lead a passenger train in winter. Its normal field of operation was between North Bay and Moosenee ON, sometimes pulling the Polar Bear Express to Moosenee, as there are no roads into the town about 12 miles (19km) south of James Bay. The 1515 was retired in 1984 and scrapped in 1988. View it in its late paint scheme and now almost derelict at: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id= 2927015 In the back of the train is CN locomotive 5107, displayed beside the Ron Morel Memorial Museum http://mci390.wix.com/ron-morel-museum#!locomotive The locomotive is featured in these pages.

	Agence Métropolitaine de Transport (AMT) FP7s 1306 in Montreal West trailing as an Auxiliary Power Control Unit (APCU) on a westbound commuter train to the West Island bedroom communities in the early 80s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agence_m%C3%A9 tropolitaine_de_transport The locomotive was the former CP 4040 built by GM in 1951 (ser#A244) before being renumbered to CP1433 in 1955 where it operated on The Canadian and subsequently back to CP 4040 in 1960. http://trainweb.org/galt-stn/cproster/locomotive/ 4000s/cp4040.htm It was sold to the Montreal Urban Transportation Commission (which became AMT) in 1982 and was renumbered AMT 1306 in 1983. Following its service with AMT, 1306 then received a special paint scheme for a seasonal tourist train called “Le Riverain (loosely translated the Riverside) http://www.northeast.railfan.net/riverain.html . View it in this paint at: http://www.railpictures.net/showphotos.php?road _number=AMT%201306 Finally, 1306 was sold in the US to the Michigan Air Line as a dinner train locomotive but the railroad went under. See the loco, now a wreck in Columbus OH at http://www.flickr.com/photos/8854749@N03/566 2443468/ and http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture. aspx?id=2839609

	Following commuter service on the West Island line, AMT was painted in a special livery for “The Riverain” (loosely translated as “The River Dweller” or “The Riverside”), a seasonal service tourist with a historical flavour on the CPR, between Windsor Station in downtown Montreal and St-Anne de Bellevue on the West Island in 2000. The interior of the cars were refinished in period brass and wood décor and guides dressed in 1899 costumes. It departed twice daily on weekdays, and four times on Saturdays and Sundays June to September. This view shows the 1306 on the Montreal waterfront, before the beginning of service in June 2000. At the opposite end is AMT 1301 in a similar paint scheme. The cars are GO Transit 1080, 1091 and 1101. The Jacques Cartier Bridge in the background links the Island of Montreal to the South Shore. In 2002, AMT 1306 was sold into the US for use on the Michigan Air Line as a dinner train. The company went under and the loco wound up in Ohio with the The Wellsboro & Corning Railroad (WCOR). The 1301 meanwhile was kept in the province and used as a tourist train along the south shore of St Lawrence River on the Chemin de Fer de Chaudière-Appalaches, since gone under also.

	Alco PA-1s 17 and 19, lead the Delaware & Hudson’s Laurentian between New York City and Montreal, inbound into Montreal around St. Lambert QC, having just passed the locks on the St. Lawrence Seaway. The PA-1 is the most famous model in American railroad history. Notice the long nose. Due to being a scan from a colour negative, the date was lost but it’s presumed to be around 1970; before discontinuation on April 30, 1971, when Amtrak declined to retain the New York-Montreal trains, and the Laurentian made its last run. When Amtrak took over most rail passenger service, the D&H trains were not included, and the PA’s were out of work. Two (17 & 19) were traded to GE. After Hurricane Agnes in 1972, the new D&H management requested them back from GE and they were refurbished, repainted and ran as The Adirondack for Amtrak but on a slightly different circuit than before and now also known as model PA-4. Eventually, the PA locomotives were sold to Mexico where they were very severely abused. One (D&H 16) was rescued and brought back to the US for display. The rest are now presumed scrapped.

	Another expermintal train that ran on the CN Lines around Montreal, 1993/94 “”MOQ”, short for “Maritimes-Ontario-Quebec” was a strange road-railer which operated briefly over the CN around Montreal in 1993 and 1994. It consisted of a cab which resembled an LRC cab, a “power cube”, and a highway trailer with road-railer style trucks. It had a very short career on the CN main line from Montreal to Toronto, and then was sent to Quebec City to haul woodchips from Donnacona to St.Felicien. From there, it vanished into history. Does anyone know how long it operated in northern Quebec, and what was its final fate?”

	AC185 at Oba, ON (way out in the sticks), during winter in the late 70s. I had the good fortune to get a cab ride on this engine from Oba to Hawk Junction through a quirk of fate, after missing the southbound Algoma Central passenger train to Sault St Marie. The story is told on the “Stations” page. ACR 185 became part of the Wisconsin Central when absorbed by CN (WC 6003). It was retired in 2007and eventually sold; ending up as Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad (WLE 6316) Two 2 views of this locomotive in new paint can be seen at these sites http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=317978 http://www.flickr.com/photos/65456406@N06/6038488682/

	Helm Leasing units HATX 803 and HATX 803 on May 26, 1999; inbound into Calgary, while on lease to Rocky Mountaineer Railtours (RMRX). HATX 803 is a GP 40, built in February 1967 by General Motors (Ser# 32963). It first saw service on the Seaboard Airline (on the US southeast coast) as SAL 650. SAL became Seaboard Coast Line and the engine was renumbered to SCLSCL became the Seaboard System and the loco was renumbered SBD 6720, prior to being absorbed into the Chessie System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chessie_System as their CSX 6720 before being sold to Helm Leasing for rental to various railroads. Its companion, HATX 805 also had a checkered history. Built in May 1970 by GM (Ser#35899), it started service as SCL 1598 and then was renumbered SBD 6753, before becoming CSX 6753 in the Chessie System and eventually sold to Helm Leasing. Prior to leasing to the Rocky Mountaineer, Helm rebuilt both GP40 locos to GP40-3 and they were used between Calgary and Vancouver during May to October each year, before RMRX acquired newer and bigger locomotives and returned them to Helm. View a picture of both (still in RMRX livery) in 2007 at: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id =759374

	RLK 4096, back of the CP Alyth Yard diesel shop in Calgary, around 2012 (slide not dated) The locomotive was built by General Motors in June 1966 (Ser#A2169) and acquired as CN 4006, a GP40, class GR-430a. In 1983, it bore the number CN 9306, before being retired June 1998 and sold to RaiLink for use in Alberta. After RailLink ceased to exist, it was repainted in the RailAmerica scheme in May 2000, renumbered 4096 and lettered for Mackenzie Northern Railway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackenzie _Northern_Railway. Following use on the Lakeland and Waterways Railway, another RailAmerica subsidiary in far northern Alberta , RLK 4096 was then transferred to yet another RA subsidiary in Southern Ontario, hauling salt, grain and automotive parts around the area where apparently, it probably still operates today. There are many on-line views of the RLK 4096. One of them is at Georgetown ON: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx ?id=146188 CP 1600 in the back, also had a varied life. Shown on the CP Sub at http://yourrailwaypictures.com/OldDiesels/ index-CP_Freight.html the GP9u was rebuilt as a “Green Goat” CP 1700; then traded or sold to Amtrak as ATK 599; before being returned to Rail Technologies and becoming their RPRX 2406 demonstrator.

	BC Rail GE C40-8 #4613 at the MacMillan Yard Concord Ont. May 1990 The GE C40-8 is a 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems between 1987 and 1992. It is part of the GE Dash 8 Series of freight locomotives, and its wheel arrangement is of a C-C type. This locomotive model is often referred to as a Dash 8-40S or simply “Dash 8”. “Dash 8” in general refers to the electrical control series, “Dash” being a carryover from the older syntax of C40-8. The “40” refers to the baseline horsepower rating (4,000 hp or 3,000 kW) of the unit, although some units may be re-rated to 4,100 hp (3,100 kW)

	Locomotives RS25, 26 and 27, used in transport of bauxite from the deep water port at La Baie (Port Alfred), about 140 miles north of Québec City to the Alcan facility at Arvida (now Jonquiere) for smelting into aluminum. While the 25 is an low nose RS-18, the 26 and 27 are the only two M-420TR locomotives of this type ever built, featuring Hi-Ad trucks, later used in many CN and CP road locomotives. Other M420s (not the TR model) were built and started the trend to the Canadian Comfort Cab, very familiar today. All 3 locomotives were sold in 2000, as the RSR started to switch to into General Motors locomotives. This photo was taken circa 198(basically behind Canadian Forces Base Bagotville QC), at the top end of a very long and steep horseshoe curve inbound to the La Baie, the RS teerminal. Action on the horseshoe curve outbound is a sight to behold when full loads, pulled by at least 3 locomotives, sometimes more depending upon the load. View the curve at: “La Baie” on Google Earth.

	CDAC ( Canadian American Railway) EMD F40PHR #453 Beginning in 1993, Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) announced its intention to abandon or sell its entire Canadian Atlantic Railway (CAR) subsidiary which operated routes in eastern Quebec, Maine, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In early January 1995 the eastern portion of the CAR mainline from Saint John, New Brunswick to Brownville Junction, Maine was sold to industrial conglomerate J.D. Irving Limited (JDI) which created the New Brunswick Southern Railway (NBSR) and Eastern Maine Railway as subsidiaries. Also in early January 1995, the western portion of the CAR (Canadian Atlantic Railway) mainline from Brownville Junction to Lennoxville, Quebec saw operation transferred to the Canadian American Railroad (CDAC) which was a joint venture of Iron Road Railways and Fieldcrest Cannon Inc.

	SOO 6450 in the CP Alyth Yard (Calgary) on May 6, 1999. Built as BN SD40 #6302 in October 1971 as a standard SD40 road freight unit (of which CP owned a couple of hundred), it later became BN #7600 after a wreck and rebuilding as a “B” (cabless) unit in 1981. When it entered SOO service (a CP subsidiary) in 1987 6450 was quickly repainted in the red and white hockey stick scheme and put into service as a helper diesel. During the early 1990s, SOO 6450 received the “Proud to Be Part of CP Rail System” decal under the road number on the hood – the only SD40 to receive this application. It can still be seen here in small letters beside the large SOO logo At the end of its working life, 6450 was delivered to Mandak Metals in Selkirk, Man. for scrapping on May 30, 2004.

	Grand Trunk 4443 leads an extra consist out from under the Ville Marie Expressway (Quebec Autoroute 720), around 1974 (negative not dated) . Grand Trunk Western is a CN subsidiary, operating in Michigan, Illinois and the Northern United States. The locomotive was built as built in May 1956 by General Motors a GP9 (Ser#21450) and assigned to the Grand Trunk Western (a CN subsidiary) as GT 1769. It was renumbered to GT 4443 in 1956 and later transferred to Central Vermont (another CN subsidiary) as CV 4443 in July 1963. In March 1989, it was rebuilt in Battle Creek Michigan as GT 4600 and retired in 2003. Its next companion CN 5550 is a GP-38-2, built by General Motors in the early 70s. It was rebuilt in 1978 and renumbered CN 7518, its number having been assigned to a newer lo CN locomotive. Currently, CN 7518 is still active as a “Mother unit” to CN “slugs” (power units) on yard and hump duties.

	EMDX 7102 backs up on across a small CN bridge, using CN/CP shared track across the Western Irrigation Canal on August 8th, 2018, on a task between Alyth Yard and Alstom (formerly CP Ogden Shops); with a load of coil cars. This view is from a frame of a sequence shot by Massey and posted at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSs4KkgoUQU The locomotive was built by the Electromotive Division of General Motors (EMD) as high hood GP9 unit CP 8511 (Ser# A 709) in November 1954. Its nose was chopped and it was renumbered to CP 1637 in November 1986, before being shipped to CAD Railway Industries in Montreal in May 2007 and fitted with a “greener” and more economical engine, under the EMD’s 710ECO repower program. Losing the GP9 designation and becoming GP22ECO Demonstrator EMDX 7102. The complete list all the ECO units ever built at: http://www.trainweb.org/gensets/emd.html View a photo of its predecessor, EMDX 7101 and the advantage of ECO units at: http://www.progressrail.com/repowered – locomotives-710ECO.asp The canal is a diversion of the Bow River starting just east of downtown (Harvey Passage), to an artificial lake at Chestermere, 26 km away. It is run by the Western Irrigation District to supply farmers with extra water for their crops and is a mixture of glacier and Calgary treated waste water. The bridge was likely built around 1944, when the WID was established and CNR needed to collect military equipment from the Ogden Shops for the War Effort. It might be older but probably not centenarian.

	The Napierville Junction Railway was a subsidiary of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad and it carried its freight between Rouses Point NY and Montreal. Lacolle, QC (7 miles from the NY state border) served as the stop for the NJR. NJR only had 2 diesel locomotives shown here, the 4050 and the 4051. While the 4051 in front was painted in the blue and grey D&H colours, the 4051 stayed in basic black. Both were Alco RS2 locomotives built in 1950 by the American Locomotive Corporation (Alco). In 1971, D&H merged the NJR back into one entity. No longer needed, both locomotives were then traded to Montreal Locomotive Works (an Alco subsidiary) by the D&H. It appears from research that they were eventually sold to Cuba. This view taken around 1972, shows both locomotives beside the MLW building in east-central Montreal, during the early-70s. The building has since been razed. http://wikimapia.org/23088473/Montreal-Locomotive -Works-Site

	Roberval Saguenay and RS3 locomotive cross a concrete bridge over a small set of falls, near Chicoutimi QC (now Saguenay) in the late 70s, outbound with aluminum ore (bauxite) from their dock at Grande Baie (Port Alfred) to the smelter at Arvida on one of their frequent runs. The bridge replaced an adjacent almost centenary wood bridge which had rotted. Like all the locomotives on its roster up to about the early 90s, Roberval Saguenay Railway motive power was built by either ALCO or their Canadian subsidiary Montreal Locomotive Works. The #24 was built as a Model RS-18 by Montreal Locomotive Works in April 1960 (Ser # 83278) and spent its entire life on the RSR, before being sold to a local metals dealer for either sale or scrap in 2000.

	Roberval Saguenay Railway 72-360 (confirmed on the nose); at the Alcan (now Rio Tinto) aluminum plant in Arvida in the Saguenay region, about 140 miles north of Quebec City in the mid-70s. 72-360 it was built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in June 1943 (Ser 70218) and came new to the Aluminum Company of Canada as their #60, subsequently renumbered to 72-360. It was one of their first diesel locomotives. Getting on in years, the S-2 loco was mainly used for in-plant switching, before being scrapped in January 1978.

	Alco power still reigns supreme in 1975, as these Roberval Saguenay units proceed from the Alcan (now Rio Tinto Alcan) deep water port facility at La Baie (Port Alfred) to the aluminum smelter in the former district of Arvida. The locos are respectively RSR 32, 39, 35 and 37. All except RSR 32 are model C-420 formerly of the Long Island Railroad in the US. RSR 32 is an RS-11 formerly with the Southern Pacific Railroad. All are now retired. While the area appears wild, it is just about a half-mile behind the married quarters at Canadian Forces Base Bagotville QC and the rock in the foreground has been known by local airforce kids as “old Baldy”.

	Roberval Saguenay 32 and 31, at the Alcan; (now Rio Tinto Alcan) facility in La Baie QC (pronounced La Bay), formerly Port Alfred, in the very early 1980s. The loco is equipped with a front plow year-round. The area, which dates back to around 1850, is a deep water port, allowing ocean going ships to load and unload material. In former days, pulp and paper from the mill around Chicoutimi (now Saguenay) was the main staple. Now, ships bring in bauxite, which the aluminum ore from all over the world and it is taken by the Roberval Saguenay Railway to the Rio Tinto plants in the area for processing. Bauxite powder coats everything around, including the inside of the RSR locos with the rusty colour seen here. RSR 32 is an ALCO RS-11, formerly with the Southern Pacific Railroad (5866, then 2931) was retired around 1988, when Alcan switched to GM power. RS 31, still in the older paint scheme, is an ALCO RS-3 from the Reading Railroad (#492) and it returned to the States after retirement from the RSR.

	Roberval Saguenay Railway Alco power at their Grande Baie (Port Alfred) yard in the Saguenay Region (about 150 miles north of Québec), consisted in M420TR #26 (one of only 2 ever built), High Hood RS-18 #24 and RS-11 #32; in August 1978. The prime purpose of the RSR is to haul bauxite from the Grande Baie deep sea port to the Alcan plant (now Rio Tinto) at Arvida QC for refining. Bauxite is aluminum ore and colours everything to a pinkish shade here. Roberval Saguenay sold all their Alco locomotives around 2000 and now operates mostly with rebuilt GP38-3 locos. The caboose in back is probably their # 15.
