CPR RS-18 # 8748 Brownville Jct., ME 10-28-80
An RS18 and a steam generator equipped RS-10 will be the power for No 933 out of Brownville Jct. When the CP was operating No 41 and No 42 the Power Bureau, then located in Montreal would make sure that there were always steam generator equipped FP7's, FPA2's and RS-10 along the International of Maine Route in the event of a steam generator failure as more often than not they would run with a single unit. Mechanical failures were the exception not the rule. That was one of the reasons the CP assigned theE8's to this run.
