The Evraz steel mill at the north end of Regina Sk has a couple of true antiques in its small fleet of switchers. Case in point EMD NW2 #5 which started out as GN 156 in 1949. Seen here paused briefly between switching moves at Wheat City Metals, a scrap yard situated next to the main steel mill.

  1. Neat that the RC beacons are basically in the old marker lamp position.

  2. Very cool. This seems like a very interesting operation! How many locomotives do they operate on a daily basis?

  3. Nice shot Matt

  4. Interesting shot. Two things stand out for me, the missing pilot & the pole pockets on the frame corners.

  5. There are usually two crews/locomotives working at any given time. One in the mill and one at the scrapyard. I have seen/shot six different units, but they hide them well so its tough to say how many are on the property.
