This is the only locomotive to be painted in the CNNA (with map) paint scheme. It must have been in an accident somewhere; no details available.

In August 1990, somewhere on the Albreda Subdivision (mile 54?), a rock fell on top the cab of 5563. This pushed the roof down so much that the window frames were bent and the windows wouldn't seal properly. For about a month until major repairs could be made on the cab, 5563 had steel plates welded over the window spaces. The locomotive was nicknamed the "Oka Special" because of the Oka crisis that was going on at the time.
