CNR S2A 3547 is spotted on the outbound roundhouse lead at Leetown.This locomotive started her career in Western Canada as an oil-burner but after a series of minor derailments western crews referred to her as a "voodoo" engine and were reluctant to take assignments with this locomotive so she was transferred east where hopefully her luck would change.She completed a Class 5 overhaul and was converted to a coal burner with a new tender and assigned to the Leetown Division where she became a favourite with the Leetown crews.The local engineers joked that the heavy fisted western hoggers didn't know how to treat a lady with respect.
