Comments on: CN 1600 Yard Job comes around the wye on the New Gages Spur, pulling ahead to eventually clear the switch and shove back onto the Firestone for their night of work. As far as I know this is the last shot of CN 1439 in service for CN. There was no else out this night, and the next morning the unit was off to Mac on 422 and out of active service. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I'm glad one was donated to the WSJR, and looks great in the old green and gold livery. I also remember too, when some of the units were on our local 514 (Chatham to Blenheim, and Thamesville)..there's nothing that compares to the sound of these engines running...or the smell of the exhaust.
