Close-up of a westbound VIA train showing CN 6764 after a "Nose Job". Many, or most, of these old cab units either had their nose "CN" covered up and then painted into VIA colours later, or just went straight to the VIA paint job. I've never been able to compile a list of who got what over the years.

    Neat. Haven’t seen many shots of these units without the noodle.

    Nice catch, it seems pretty ironic to me that they painted over the logo considering they applied the CN logo on the nose of a few of VIA’s repaints!

    A lot of times, Ian, I don’t think they were really sure of what they were doing.
    But on the ‘good’ side, it gave us guys lots of things to look forward to.
