Dual rarities
Title:  Dual rarities
Description:  Ottawa Central TS18 1685 and GTW SD40-2 5936 sit in the deadline at Homewood. Both are very rare, 1865 because it is a MLW and 5936 is one of just two SD40-2s left in GTW blue.

OCRR 1865
Title:  OCRR 1865
Description:  As much as I love seeing this here, I'd rather still have it running up in Canada doing what it should be doing rather than in a deadline. OCRR 1865 is a real beauty though.
