Stelco SW900 91 is seen here switching outside their plant in Hamilton in May 1974. Built by GMD London in 1965, 91 was one of a number of GMD SW's acquired in the 50's and 60's for switching Stelco's in-plant trackage around their facilities, and came equipped with a low profile cab roof line for work around areas with restricted and tight clearances. Many things have happened in the years since, including Stelco's purchase by US Steel, and the recent name change back to Stelco.
