Resolute paper's switcher, a former Canadian National SW1200rs, rides the hill down to the paper mill after spotting cars at the CN interchange. This is a maneuver they will later repeat that day. Here we can see it crossing Rue St-Dominique.

    Very nice. I didn’t know this operation even existed! What a great thing to see.

    1336 retired by CN in Nov1990, sold in Sept1992 to this mill, which was Abitibi-Price at the time.

    Thank you all for your beautiful comments!

    Thank you for the information, Mercer.
    Would you happen to know which reporting mark they operate the SW12000 under? I have seen it
    listed as CANX (Canac) but i am not sure if that is right.

    Ian, as was the practice in the 70s/80s/90s, CANAC handled 98% of CN equipment resales. But that wouldn’t mean that all of them were identified as such [ CANX } except perhaps for the one-way movement to the buyer’s property.
    As an industrial locomotive, it really is not required to have reporting marks, until it needs to be taken somewhere on a Class 1 for repairs or sale.
