Great Northern #15 was one of the units built in Canada for GN for service in and around Vancouver, B.C. This was due to the taxation laws at the time in the 1950s when GN dieselized all operations and needed switchers assigned to Canada. The unit became BN #147 and was last seen in an old photo in Pacific News showing her at the ARCO coke refinery at Long Beach carrying #120. She was apparently acquired through VMV. Any Information as to current status would be appreciated.
