GWWD 230
What do you do with an old truck body and a beat-up speedster chassis? Combine them naturally. This might have been a cost cutting measure as well, since the GWWD is owned by the city of Winnipeg (this is an old city utility truck LOL), hence the herald on the door. I just love the oversized front grill and emergency lamp, perfect for Branchline duty. Although GWWD has its own hi-rail trucks as well, this practise appears to be common, as right behind me was GWWD 235, a Chevy van, also sitting on the tracks (I'll post a photo later), interstingly he was wearing the newest City of Winnipeg paint, which incidentally looks like the modern CPR scheme.
