This MLW S4 started life in March 1954 as CN 8032. When no longer needed as a switcher, it was converted to Snowfighter CN 50560 to aid in keeping CN’s Taschereau Yard clear during those severe Montreal winters. Some 59 years after it came to CN as a new first generation diesel, the S4 continues to perform as Claremont Concord Railroad No. 105 in Claremont, NH.
