It seemed like a 'monster' of an engine because it looked out of place on the OSR. Such modern power in amongst MLW's and F units of the like! Knew there had to be a reason!

OSR shops are being used under contract by ZTR locally to install/test their latest developments, and every once in a while these locmotives are moved into the shops and out for ZTR to access them for work. It's unknown if they will ever test on OSR in live service, but never say never, ZTR locomotives did test in 2010-2012 period when they were installing on CPR locomotives.
