Comments on: Believed to be the westernmost industrial railway operation in Canada (there were earlier logging lines on Haida Gwai), Prince Rupert Grain built a terminal on Prince Rupert harbour and alongside CN’s Skeena sub. For switching loads and empties, in 1981 they acquired a 1955-built ex-Southern Pacific ALCo S-6 numbered (on paper, no external mark) 1219, as seen Monday 1981-10-05. When expanding export terminal business for several commodities developed near Prince Rupert on Ridley Island, Prince Rupert Grain built a new terminal there in 1984, and the original site appears to be a wood pellet terminal now. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Really nice with the company name spelled out. Ken, that is right up at the top of the list of rare and obscure locomotives seen on rail pics.
