Good news for Alco fans: Ex-CPR MLW (Alco) FA-2 4090 and FB-2 4469 on display in Cranbrook, B.C. are getting a cosmetic face lift, thanks to the city's Sunrise Rotary Club.
With assistance from Cranbrook's Downtown Business Association, the two
units will be repainted into the classic CPR maroon and grey livery. The Club
hopes to have the job completed by July, this year.

In addition to the repainting, the Club will also do some landscaping and add a story board about the two units, which were built in 1953.
The units belong to the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, which is located
just south of where the units are located on highway 3/95.
Classic power, John. I really enjoyed that modern CP header photo that came up on your blog as well.
