Ontario Northland 1603


 
Walker Coe photo. North Bay, Ontario. July 2003.

Ontario Northland GP9, 1603, recieves some maintenance in the ONR's North Bay shops. Built in 1957, it was repainted for the 2nd time, into the O.N. Rail scheme it now wears just over a year before this picture was taken. When you look in the open engine compartment doors, it looked like the motor didn't have any pistons in it. We may never know. That is 2103 behind, which had burnt out 2 pistons.
