Railpictures.ca - Bill Linley Photo: For a brief period in the late 1990s, Sweeps found work in Halifax, Nova Scotia, often in the mu company of SW1200RS units. The odd couples worked the container piers, transfers and general switching at Rockingham Yard and downtown, at the Ocean Terminals. At 3.30 p.m. on Sunday, October 26, 1997, CN 7104 rests on the radial tracks at the Fairview Roundhouse. CN assembled the 7104 from major components of SW1200RS 1248, GMDL 11-1956 #A1020, the first of 21 units in class GR-12h. It was retired in 1986, rebuilt at Point St. Charles and released as 7104 on Friday, May 1, 1987, with class GS-412b. It was retired on Friday, February 29, 2000, and joined the Canac / Savage lease fleet, where it remains active. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
