Did you happen to record the CN running number of that Pettibone Speed Swing in your notes? I believe it is CN 436-12
@Paul O’Shell- I will check my notes and other photos to confirm if it is.
Although a few years after the fact, I have been able to confirm by comparison with other photos in my files that this Work Equipment machine is indeed CN 436-12.
CN 436-12 Class Code 4DA is a Pettibone model 441-D Speed Swing rough terrain hi-rail material handler, serial number 2966, built in 1989 at the Pettibone plant in Baraga, MI.
I wrote the Work Equipment specification for these types of units while working at CN H.Q. in Montreal, QC in the late 80′s.
I also conducted periodic in-plant inspections while the machines were under construction, then in-field performance testing before they were accepted by CN.
Great memories from pics like this.
