On a frigid Alberta morning, First Generation Diesels meet at Daugh, Alberta, on CN's Coronado Sub.   CN L 55651 17 with a pair of older GE's pull south with RPCX 6311 and RPCX 6304, as On Track Rail Operations Alco S6 1003, looks on.


The FP9Au's are privately owned and were on display at the Alberta Railway Museum in Edmonton, however they are now enroute to Assiniboine, Saskatchewan. They will be interchanged to CP at Scotford in the coming days, for furtherance to Assiniboine. RPCX 6311 was previously VIA 6311, VIA 6529 and CN 6529. RPCX 6304 has a more storied history... Formerly VIA 6304, VIA 6509 and CN 6509 - it was also numbered 1967 and saw service on the Confederation Train in 1966 and 1967.
