Viewed from the opposite end to the photo submitted by First954 a few days ago, here is CN 79146 in Capreol on one of the shop tracks sporting a fresh coat of paint in the summer of 1976. It was not in the consist of the Capreol Auxiliary outfit at the time of this photo, but likely ended up there after being outfitted for service.
