BC Rail Cat RS18' on the Dead Line in Prince George

[Pathfinder]

Took these today.  Rather sad as I remeber when the Cat's first came out

 

There was one more closer to the shops but out of easy (and safe) photo range

Thanks for the pictures.

I've always thought Trains Magazine's biggest failure was the pitifull coverage they gave to BC Rail's interesting roster, while running annual articles on D&RGW, A&M and WC.

I believe the first Cat RS18 had a slanted radiator section, different from the others.

Thanks, I hope some will like them.  I also recall the first Cat (609) having a different rad set up.  Link to a photo:

And BCR did have some very interesting units for sure.  Seeing the condition the BCR paint is in, I can not see them staying out of CN paint (or dead lines like the RS18's) much longer.
