ALGOMA CENTRAL RAILWAY and UNDECORATED

In 1995, Algoma Central's then owners, Wisconsin Central, bought three of VIA's FP9A locomotives to haul the tour train to Agawa Canyon and the local run between Sault Ste. Marie and Hearst, Ontario. In the past, we've had some trouble matching the ACR's unique grey used on their cars and passenger locomotives. These models will be closer to the real thing.
