CNR 15630 in trouble

 


We met CNR's gasoline powered railcar # 15816 a couple of weeks back, this is another on the fleet of 36 units that CNR operated on various branchlines. Number 15830 is less ungainly looking but as we see below, internal combustion wasn't dead reliable, after suffering some sort of mechanical issue, the nearest handy steam locomotive was pressed into service for motive power, this time being #593, a Mogul of 1889 vintage.  It looks like it's working pretty hard.
