Railpictures.ca - Glenn Courtney Photo: This was an unusual movement. A pair of RS-18s came into Rockingham Yard with a train and then headed west van hop. It was very unusual to see a pair of RS-18s on the road in the Halifax area at this time. CN 3624 was wearing a variation of the noodle paint scheme that a few RS-18s and RSC-14s wore – a yellow frame stripe replacing the white (gray) stripe that was standard with that scheme. CN 1779 sitting to the left would have been switching Rockingham on day shift and is now idling by the scale house. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

A classic scene, and as nature intended for the long hood.
