What A Difference A Decade Makes.
When steam generator-equipped Boston & Maine #1512 left the Alco plant in October 1954, it wore a nazzy red/gold/black attire with silver trucks. We see it here ten years later in a faded blue livery with some of the old colors wearing through. Canadian Pacific leased the four-axle Alco along with several first-generation locomotives from B&LE, B&M and UPRR during 1964/65 to handle secondary trains while its top-rated power hauled Russian-bound grain. This shot shows the 1512 in Windsor, Ontario backing towards the fuel racks.
In 1974, the RS3 moved to Michigan and donned the maroon and gray of the Detroit & Mackinac railroad
