Homely . . . But She Can Sing

It was built an FP9A for the Canadian National by GMD in April 1957. By Dec. 1983, it was remanufactured an 1800 HP FP9ARM for VIA Rail in CN's Pointe St-Charles shops in Montreal. On Feb. 4, 1986, it was wrecked in a deadly collision working the Super Continental passenger train in Hinton, Alberta. Miraculously, it survived the wreck with a replacement cab from a KCS F7.
