Comments on: One of the newest additions to Battle River Rail’s roster sits outside the railway’s shop in Forestburg Alberta. The railway has a pretty good track record for painting their units, so I doubt the 3434 will look this way for too long.

I did wonder why they left the “R” on the sides….Only found it by accident myself.

Truth be told, I didn’t even know about this unit till earlier that morning when it came up in chit chatting with a couple friends as we waited for the southbound to leave Camrose. So technically you shot it long before I even knew about it.

Saw this myself, Matt. You had a little better lighting than I did. Quite sure this unit came from Tri-Cities (TRCY)down in Richland, Washington State. I seem to recall shooting it down there. I was rather surprised to see this submitted; as I thought I had a “scoop”. Nope, not with you on the loose. )
When I was by in late Sept the unit had been there about 3 weeks. Still have to get the “bugs out”.
