Remarks & Notes

True Colors - We’re looking at the cab of an RS1 that began life in 1947 as Minneapolis & Saint Louis 547, later renumbered 219. It retained its second number when it was sold to Canadian road Sydney & Louisburg. In 1968, the S&L was reorganized as the Devco Railway, and the unit was renumbered 204. Finally, the Alco came to the Black River & Western with small block “BRW” lettering on the long hood, and it retained number 204. At least one repainting has faded to the point of revealing the RS1’s original identity and number.
