Traces the entire diesel roster of the ONR from first ALCo S-2 switchers imported from the U.S. to the present roster. The various rebuilding programs are documented and the many paint schemes detailed. Featuring F unit rebuilds into APU, APCU, TEE retrofits, and CAT retrofits. A morphed GP9 into a GP38-2 and presently they are in the process of rebuilding a series of five used SD70M units. A must-read for anyone modeling the Ontario Northland in the diesel era as well as for anyone who is interested in the evolution of the diesel locomotive!
