(...) OK, so I'm not crazy (not legally, anyway! ;-) I only saw them in a large yard, in Edmonton, near the airport. Never on the roads...and I don't think I ever saw a 'real' "B" unit before the pictures I saw today. (In the SF Bay Area, I'm on one (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
