After pulling back out of the siding south of Camrose station, CN RDC-3 6356 (left) on the Calgary-Edmonton Railiner train inches up to the back of CN RDC-1 6114 (right), on the Drumheller-Edmonton Railiner. Crews work to connect both units together, and both trains will depart Camrose station together as a combined run to Edmonton. CN 6356 had previously arrived first at Camrose, but headed into the siding nearby to clear the station track for 6114 to arrive.There's a lesson in CN RDC spotting here: note 6356 on the left has the later "Phase 2" Budd RDC ends (headlight in housing built into the roof, numberboards at front face only) while 6114 has "Phase 1" ends that CN modified (original headlight position was above the doorway, moved to a new headlight housing on the roof with added numberboards in order to clear the diaphragm and diaphragm housings CN installed). CN also plated over the larger Phase 1 window openings and cut smaller Phase 2 windows into them. The original numberboards remained on the body sides. The fluting on the vestibule doors was unique to 6356, originally delivered to the MKT with end and vestibule door fluting (a styling feature CN didn't opt for). 6356 has a later Nathan K3L air horn, while 6114 has the earlier M3H model that CN (and CP) ordered standard on most of their early diesels.Original photographer unknown (possibly E.W.Johnson), Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.
