One-of-a-kind 8921 (RSD-17 2400 hp MLW #81603 5/57) shows off its "wrong way" visibility stripes compared to units behind including another one-of-a-kind 4711 M-636 Caterpillar diesel. St.Luc. December 6, 1994 L.B.Chapman

When asked why the stripes were painted wrong, shop foreman said it was just to drive railfans nuts!

One other unit 8763 got painted this way.

Here 8921 leads three "Rockets" 8032, 8030 and 8035 plus 4238. St.Luc 5-19-92 L.B.Chapman

Here she is again with yet another one-of-a-kind unit 4744 M-640 4000 hp 20-251 MLW M6032-01 3/71
The Hochelaga Transfer was a common job to use uncommon units on. St.Luc 4-15-90 L.B.Chapman

NOTE: For a look at 8921 before getting a chop nose and with correct stripes.
