HO CN RSC-14 #1778

Canadian National originally purchased a total of 225 RS-18s, making it their second-most-numerous diesel road-switchers. But in the 1970s, CN was looking for a solution for providing replacement motive power to their underpowered and aging fleet of RSC-13s, with the challenge being the lightweight rail of many branchlines throughout the Atlantic Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
