It is no secret that the "Empress of Agincourt" is a very special diesel. Manufactured in 1957, by the Montreal Locomotive Works (retired in '95), it is a one-of-a-kind RSD-17. Here she is in 1976 - 12 years before being subjected to her Nose Job. I used to enjoy watching 8921 run regularly past my house on her way up to the Agincourt Yard. Here she is outside of Union Station in downtown Toronto. I'm glad that she found a good resting spot at the Elgin County Railway Museum.
