A very unique SW1200RS. Used on the Englewood Logging Railroad on Vancouver Island.   |

I see Dynamic Brakes, High-mount Air Reservoirs, A Weather Shield, and a Massive muffler? I'm lost as to the gray boxy louvers on the sides though...

Those are intake air filters for the engine blowers.

Very cool videos. I wish I could get better pictures of the roof of those locomotives. I have a few couple of old Trackside Part dynamic brake housings for SW's and would like to try and make at least one of these.

Great Video & photos.
There was an article about the Canfor logging operations in Railfan & Railroad mag from the 1990's sometime.
Great article but i forget exactly the date. I got it home. will check the date.

I *Think* the silver painted WFP engines had CAT prime movers installed in place of the 567 EMD's...So, that would explain the odd looking angular ductwork where the radiators used to be--and the boxy louvers on the hood side. Don't forget about that MASSIVE spark arrestor--required if WFP want's to keep those valuable timberstands from going up in flames!
I Love the ditchlight locations--in the flagstick/marker lamp holders!
I've wanted to model one of these creatures with the dynamic brakes as well, but it's down on the list of projects...
