Hello. I found this picture in Flickr this morning and thought I'd share it here. Click below to view it:

Really nice shot.
Embarrasing as it feels, to me, to admit this... Looking at this picture right now this is the first time I ever noticed that the sw1200rs diesels did not always have full-length, roadswitcher-style, handrails. When did they acquire them?
Cheers

That is a nice find! I'll have to see if the owner would let us post a copy on the DAR Wiki.
From the photos we have, she was in her old CP livery right up to around 1973 but with the handrails missing maybe we can get a little closer estimate of the timeframe from that apart from the fact we have no pictures of her before 1973 so far.
