at Alyth
engine facility!

They are known to have made it as far west as Calgary, but only briefly. I
remember seeing photos of at least one there. Whether it worked the Canadian
or how it got there I do not know.

Unit 1801 was wrecked in 1968, and cut-up in 1969.....and then there'I think that the CP's three E-8 units.....'
were two.
I have searched for photographic evidence they were ever on The
Canadian, but have yet to find any. They also never got Script paint.
