It's a tough decision on if these locomotives looked better in this paint or better as the map unit and flag unit.

Normally I don't bother with older shots, but the ACR will always be an exception! The fact that CN doesn't bother to at least have some nice looking dedicated power to run the tour trains nowadays (in a "heritage" scheme like this would really be nice) instead of the usual scuzz-bucket pool power is just a disgrace. Thanks for reminding us of how it should be.

I was riding that same train that day! That was my first time on Algoma Central! Here's a photo (by my Dad) of the engines switching ends before heading back: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2485464
Very nice photo Ron! It's cool how you have a photo of the train I was riding back then (I was 11 years old)!
