Caption: After the 1981-01-01 takeover by CN of Northern Alberta Railways, NAR power was renumbered into the CN series, then later the Northern Alberta lettering and diamond symbols were blacked out, and eventually (typically coinciding with overhauls) full CN paint was applied. One full and one partial remarking are shown here, 4602 the former NAR 201 and 4606 formerly NAR 205. Spirit River is at the very west end of the CN Smoky subdivision, five miles west of a junction at Rycroft where most traffic runs south to Grande Prairie, and the five-mile stretch is utilized now for car storage. The crossing in the photo is 52 Street, and the grain elevators and trackage seen here are now history for five blocks east, all blank to 47 Street.
