lettered as
Dominion Atlantic # 6560
MLW 660 hp yard units with multiple unit controls.
The only low horsepower diesels built new with m.u. were Dominion Atlantic 6560 and 6561. These two units fit in the CPR numbering for MLW 660 hp units. Other than DAR RDC's 9058 and 9059 no other diesels were lettered for any subsidiary. They were transferred to Lambton Yard in Toronto where they worked singly on yard and local jobs. After the new hump yard in Agincourt opened they worked as a pair on the Pulldown until 1974 when they were replaced by 7107 and 7108 (MLW S-4) and sent to Sutherland, Saskatchewan.
DAR 6560 fully equipped as road units
including combination pilot, chime horn and classification
lights.
