This slide was shot in McAdam, NB 20 years ago, on June 3, 1990, by Carl G. Perelman. The engines are MLW RS-23 units 8041 and 8038, and a CP caboose. I believe the units are just west of the station.
These units were built in mid 1960 by Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) and were uniquely Canadian. They had a six cylinder 251C engine delivering 1000 horsepower. They served CP for many years, and these two units were eventually sold to the Windsor & Hantsport Railway in 1996. They served that shortline for a while, until they ran out of "steam" and were scrapped in 2006.
