Railpictures.ca - Doug Lawson Photo: far away from home, BAR 73,69 & 63 are in Chetwynd BC on the old BC Rail, preparing to head south on time table scheduled freight train No.48 departing for a 195 mile trip to Prince George BC. At the time BCR had at least 4 of the BAR geeps to fill in some locomotive shortages. They were odd in the all MLW / Alco fleet. My Kodak Instamatic tried to capture the scene. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
