NS 1800 on CP 581 stopped for fuel and a crew change |
| Description: |
This unit was rebuilt from a standard cab SD70 in March, 2018. The less than two-year-old paint scheme is quite filthy, par for the course for me when catching special schemes in the lead. |

The relief conductor doesn't look too thrilled to sce the foamer. Oh well, the light was almost gone and I had had my fill of this unique, but dirty SD70ACC. |
