Q: Anyone know if #8599 was repainted CP Rail action red? And below 8599's head light, the " 11 20 79 " numbering - perhaps a repair date - purpose ? January 20, 1980 Kodachrome by S.Danko. More pure MLW on CP: two at Bolton two departing Agincourt west RS-10 at Agincourt two west at Leaside trio departing Agincourt east trio departing Agincourt east trio 244 primes at Guelph Jct different trio departing Agincourt east sdfourty.

    I think the date code on the end has something to do with the date the manual handbrake was last inspected or tested. On lots of CP units today you can find dates located right above the brake wheels.
