The Chevrolet Epica was sold in Canada from 2004 to 2006. It was a version of the Daewoo Magnus given to Chevrolet dealers in Canada who most used to sell Oldsmobiles so this was meant as a replacement for them. LS was the base trim. Although reasonably new you don't see too many around anymore.
By the time I made it to Eagle Mills in August of '89, most of the Alco RSD-12's had been sold or scrapped. The RSD-15's were still on the property, but relegated to the dead lines or yard service. Scanned from a print.
