Comments on: On the shop track at Prince George, a misty morning and perhaps some smog from the pulp mills. BCR 631 sporting fresh paint and a fancy headlight arrangement. Dual seal beam headlights as well as ditch lights. Also the unit has been adapted for operating a slug in yard service. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I did check out the links you provided. I like the 632 because it just looks like they were added. Your example no offense mades it look like the shop crews took brass knuckles and said "this will work". Nonetheless it's still a good pic and thank you for taking the time to answer my crazy question. :) No, I agree it was not a good setup. I did check out the links you provided.

At that time they had high mounted headlights. BCR eventually mounted the headlights down on the short hood and experimented with ditch light placement. In my image the two vertical lights are the headlight, the horizontal are the ditch lights. The mounting of the ditch light would shine over a slug when coupled. Not a very good setup. see attached link for images of 631 & 632 with different lights. http://www.cnrphotos.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=50887 631 & 632 were ex L&HR C-420′s that BC Rail acquired late 1973??
