Comments on: Just passing through!!! CN’s two G-12s, 991 and 992, are shown in Capreol, Ontario on their way west to their new home on Vancouver Island. The units were built for the London and Port Stanley Railroad in 1955 and 1957. 991 ex L&PS L4 built 8/1955 b/n A832 (some sources show the b/n as A831) and 992 ex L&PS L5 built 7/1957 b/n A1324. Both units acquired by CN on January 1,1966 and retired in 1976 and scrapped. Of note are the different trucks and cabs on the units. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
