Obviously retired from service at Lafarge Exshaw, Alberta, S-3 no.
16-52 seems to await transfer. Note the auxiliary air hose along the
running board. January 11th, 2001 Rolf Stumpf photo The MLW switcher currently owned by Rocky Mountain Rail Society of Calgary, Alberta (owners of steam loco ex CN6060). The S-3 was moved in August 2002 from Exshaw to the Alstom facility in Calgary. Plans are to restore to operating condition, but this will no doubt be a fairly long term project. While preliminary indications are good, final decision awaits complete inspection. At a minimum, we know that the wheels will have to be replaced. (report by Dale Olson) |
