Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: I was thinking it was an opportune time to post a roster shot of GMD1 CN #1053 since the news is, with the rare exceptions (like 1437) we are not likely to get the opportunity to shoot these distinctive units any more. Saw this in Symington Yd, Winnipeg back in 1976. Nearby was 1031. They were common and practical branch line engines in the central prairies. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

26 years later, CN 1053 had been re-trucked, repainted, and renumbered to CN 1153. I managed to capture her on August 20, 2002 in ONR’s yard in North Bay, ON in a dead line behind their car shop.
