Comments on: A broad side of the 1347 showing off those unusual cylindrical stacks, rather than the cones that are typically found on these units.

Thx Driver8666..I was away exploring the world for awhile. LOL the covers on the windows were not always applied very well by the shop. Most of them did very little to stop snow or rain!

Hey. Good to see you again. As always thanks for the explanation on the slanted window. To the untrained eye, it does look like someone that didn’t have a steady hand put it back on.

Nice pic! The window is not really slanted its the add on “all weather” cover over the actual window. CN had different styles on its switcher fleet.
Even the spark arrestors are different than the usual tapered style.

I’m with 8666, how did that all weather window get put on an angle?
I’ve never seen one, except through the little view port on the side of the truck. Just how big is that coil spring that these trucks ride on? It looks pretty big through the port hole. Whatever, I found them to be one of the nicest trucks to ride on, whether on GP9′s or SW’s.

I enjoy these profile views to see all the different appliances, how, and where they are attached, and the differences from unit to unit.

And toting the standard yellow re-railer(s). Nice photo.

The way the hood doors have been put back on, it looks like this engine works for the ON (Ontario Northland).
