CN 1501, refurbished and rebuilt RDC (ex VIA 6108, ex CN 6108, ex CN D108) now a Geometry car, heads back east to test the three mains of the Oakville sub between the former Hamilton West and Burlington East. This was the only move of the day that brought the RDC onto the Dundas sub. Following testing of the CN owned Oakville Subdivision, the RDC tested to Fort Erie and back. It's nice to see one more RDC returned to service.... here is a photo of "1501" (as 15106) in 2006 heading to Chicago for complete refurb: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=12219

    Yes, on RBG property :)

    If you want I can send you a private photo of A422, I don’t think my photo makes MY cut to post it otherwise.
