At the time of posting this, the infamous season of Winter is just around the corner, scenes like this will be possible again! On a bright and sunny February day, CN Macmillan Yard - Aldershot Yard turn L570 charges through Georgetown with a pleasant BC Rail (or, BCOL) GE C40-8M in the lead, this unit was built for the British Columbia Railway in 1993 out of General Electric's Erie, PA locomotive plant. One could wish for the unit to have a cleaner nose, but you take what ya get! This unit is still active on CN's roster.

    thanks Marcus! I believe it was 4625/2411/Gevo, 2411 died shortly after at Merriton on the Grismby with X421

    That X421 ran on Feb 29. Was quite the sad show watching 4625 and 2411 trying to depart Hamilton.

    Nice to know 4625 has escaped the chop shop. For now.

    Hoping 4625 survives a few more years longer, IIRC the unit has been captive in rural BC as a yard switcher… worst possible choice for that job but who am I to judge?
