Well local train 533 is using CN 3887 "100" (ET44AC)!!!! I noticed on "Heritage Units!" Man, the GTW local using "High Horsepower" again! This happened before in April 2016 when they were using a CN SD75I!!!!! Also back in February 2015 I saw a CN SD60 and CN C44-9W on separate days! Recent times have had EJ&E locos! I guess you can never know what to expect on the "GTW Local!!!!" Traditionally it was always GTW power!!!! I sure miss the old days!

Here's a picture (Canon® 35mm S.L.R.) my Dad (RCJ I) took with me in 1989, Fraser: Image
