Comments on: The Evraz steel mill at the north end of Regina Sk has a couple of true antiques in its small fleet of switchers. Case in point EMD NW2 #5 which started out as GN 156 in 1949. Seen here paused briefly between switching moves at Wheat City Metals, a scrap yard situated next to the main steel mill.

There are usually two crews/locomotives working at any given time. One in the mill and one at the scrapyard. I have seen/shot six different units, but they hide them well so its tough to say how many are on the property.

Interesting shot. Two things stand out for me, the missing pilot & the pole pockets on the frame corners.

Very cool. This seems like a very interesting operation! How many locomotives do they operate on a daily basis?

Neat that the RC beacons are basically in the old marker lamp position.
