Скачать или смотреть WCR1001 Leads the Elmira Syrup Train! With WCR9114

Decided to head out for WCR since they were making some runs for the Elmira Syrup Festival. Was actually expecting GMD1-WCR1012 to lead this train, but they came by with a nice surprise being 1959 built MLW-S13, now numbered WCR1001.
Originally delivered to the Pacific Great Eastern in 1959, it then handed over ownership to BCOL before being sold to the Winnipeg Water District in 1989. It would only spend 5 years there before being again sold to OSR in 1994, it would finally be sold to WCR in 2018. Where it currently serves today at the ripe old age of 65.
On the other side of the train was WCR9114. Originally owned by CP, it would then become a part of VIA's fleet before being sold to WCR in 2020, where it would be restored to operable condition. Cool to see these nearly 70 year old engines still running today! All due to the hard work of the volunteers at Waterloo Central Railway.
