Can You Believe That These Two Locomotives Were Once The Exact Same?

Watch these two BC Rail engines lead freight trains as they ring their bells while rumbling through crossings! Both of these units, one digit apart, used to look the EXACT same, with a shiny blue stripe paint, original steel air bells, and original K5L horns. Today, 4646 is the only active blue BC Rail engine with its original steel mechanical bell, while 4647 is in the CN Noodle scheme (looks like it recently got repainted again or washed) and has an electronic bell. The only things they have in common are the rock lights, bells being cab mounted, and a small window on the cab door. And no, the BC Rail era K5L/K5H is not a thing anymore.
