Marc Simpson (September, 20th 99):
I found newly rebuilt RS-18 630 at the BC Rail shops, in the new Blue and Silver scheme. This was the last 251 powered RS-18 on BC Rail. The end of an era, of sorts.

In August 1962 Pacific Great Eastern's brandnew RS-18's 598 (later
612) and 597 (later 611) get a wash at North Vancouver. John Day photo (his first train picture!) |

My first encounter with live ALCo power took place
at Quesnel BC, Sept. 7th 1994: BCR 628 and 621 switching! Note the
altered hood openings of carbody filter and dynamic brake. Rolf Stumpf photo |
| Another dose the following morning: RS18's #621 and 628 switch a
row of cars in Quesnel yard, this is how it all began!!! Without these
two RS18's there would be no ALCo homepage of me....! Rolf Stumpf photo |
