Single unit operation has always been photographically appealing to me, with GP9s fairly common in British Columbia, and in Alberta also the odd MLW. So it was a happy encounter finding the daily wayfreight No. 83 from Medicine Hat arriving Lethbridge with a single script albeit grubby C-424 4204, seen here on the eastern outskirts of town on Thursday 1974-10-03.

    I wonder what the crews out west thought about getting a C424 to run instead of their usual GP9′s.
