What F unit to use- tired of waiting

Nope it's 110-C and a unidentified B unit... of note is that the units were leased from CNW not CGW (I know same difference  )

Well that makes some sense then. Unit 110C was interesting in the fact that most of the later photos show a low fan in the first position but two high fans in the middle (and then the hatch).

The issues with 105C is that it was off the CGW roster in 1963 which was also before the red/black scheme.

.....well; as you said it's my railroad.

Does the book show unit 105C in red paint?  That would be very interesting to see for a couple reasons.

Neat that the photo was taken February 7th 1970 exactly 27 years before I was born...

I'll have to dig a bit but I have a list of most of the units leased to CP from 1964-1995, it's a interesting mix to say the least... I'll post it in another thread when I get the chance.

Ryan: The photo was taken 27 years to the day before you were born....? 1970 plus 27 years is 1997.... you are 12 years old....? ......if so, I am very impressed with your knowledge of trains and your writing ability..... ;D I'm guessing you ment 17 years........or maybe my math needs remedial help.

The CPR leased some pretty odd stuff......I loved the IC C636's - orange and white with Action red..... quite the vision in colour !

oops 17 years 2:30 AM brain fart  :-[
