              Photograph depicts the switcher in Grand Forks. When CPR abandoned this city on KYR, there was a need for local switching to BN branch line, so a private company was created. 10 of these switchers were built in 1950/51 for the CPR. This particular locomotive retured in 1989 and was sold to GFR in 1993.
