If it was the 9052, it was indeed split into two parts. The two not quite
equal halves were then loaded onto a pair of flatcars and shipped east towards
Montreal, together with a gondola loaded with bits. I caught it on a train
near Whitby on June 25, 1972. Both cabs faced east.

I recall a picture on the web years ago but can't find it now. The RDC
struck directly had to be cut up on site having had its spine broken.
each of the two was knocked in its side.
Any help out there?
