VIA #6867 Disposition: CN (RMNE) 6867


Montreal Locomotive Works built only twelve 1800-hp boosters and they all went to the Canadian National, and later to VIA Rail in 1977. Very few of the four-axle FPB4 boosters survived until today. One exception is ex-CN 6867 which has been restored to its prior colors with original road number. It is seen here on 29 November 2017 at the RMNE in Danbury CT. Prior to repainting, the MLW-built booster had been posing as New York Central #3999. (Tim Darnell photo).
