Reminds of a caption from "Would you believe?" :

" I told them to wash those C628s in cold water, and line dry. "

Yeah, you know your stuff. Actually the rebuilt MLW RS-18 high-hooders were renamed RSC-14's after they recieved A1A-A1A trucks from the RSC-13's and RSC-24's. One of my fridge magnets is of an RSC-24 or as the CNR employees probably called them "Pug Units" cause of the very short-short hood. Hence the picture below.

Great photos!

Here's a good question, what two light-rail diesels units of MLW and GE first generation diesels ran on Prince Edward Island until 1976 in (Canada) on the Canadian National??

I'm game! The GE units were 70 tonners, which lasted until the end of CN's operations on PEI. The MLW units were rebuilt RS18s which were re-trucked to an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement to replace aging RSC13s and RSC24s neither of which were used on PEI, so far as I know. But, the MR14as were definately used there, since they were the power on the last train out of Charlottetown to Borden in the 70's, I think. The power CN most favored there were FM/CLC H12-44s. They replaced CLC/Whitcomb units that were a bust on CN, but found new homes in the "states", on the badly missed Washington & Old Dominion (ask anyone stuck in Northern Virginia traffic if they'd rather ride light rail cars than sit in traffic!) and another carrier. Who was it?
