Railpictures.ca - Ian Malenfant-Picard Photo: RS 63 seen leading the mainline run westward, about to pass the 6th Street viaduct with a rather lenghty train in tow. RS 63 is the last Roberval & Saguenay locomotive to sport the old fashioned bell, still hanging up front from the top of its cab. It was originally built as GP40 IC 3049, but was later rebuilt by AMF in the late 90s and was converted to Canadian standards, and/or in this case, Roberval & Saguenay’s. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

This is an especially nice image from a part of the country not many photos are presented from.
Must be a nice power collection up front as well. Would be most interesting to see another angle.
