The life of a locomotive. This GMD-1 unit has worn a few faces since it was first built in the late 50s:
1) In as-delivered Northern Alberta Railways livery, leading the last passenger train from Dawson Creek to Dunvegan Station in Edmonton, 1974.
2) Working behind CN 1069 on the Coronado Subdivision near Redwater, Alberta, renumbered 1079 and wearing a fresh coat of CN red and black following CN’s acquisition of NAR, 1985.
3) Looking rough and ready to retire in Edmonton in 2013, around twenty-five years after a significant rebuild and another renumbering, this time to 1179.
4) Sitting on display at the Alberta Railway Museum in 2018, after a cosmetic restoration including a the return of number 302 and the name "Chief Moostoos", which the locomotive was given for NAR’s 50th anniversary in 1979.

The GMD-1 is a unique locomotive, originally built for CN and the Northern Alberta Railway (NAR) for use on lightweight prairie branchline trackage. By the time this photo was taken, enough branchlines had been either upgraded or abandoned that only the Lewvan subdivision required the use of GMD-1s with their original wheel arrangement, such as these two from the 1600 series.
