MLW jackpot
Title:  MLW jackpot
Description:  While chasing the 470 Club North Star trip, I jumped over into Edmundston NB, a larger town than Madawasa, where the trip was overnighting. There, I checked out the CN yard, which yielded several unusual models. The 1761 is an MR14C, a retrucked RS 18, now sporting a-1-a trucks. An eastbound would also come through while I was there with an HR 616, so it was Alco heaven for an hour or so.
