CP 1578
Title:  CP 1578
Description:  The Engineer is standing beside me operating this locomotive with a remote control unit. He wondered why I would want a picture of these two old machines. I told him they're the reason I'm here. The slug has probably been working this yard since its inception in the mid 1960s.
