It WAS a high nose, only one made too, said the CP guy. It was chopped due to the obstructed view. It was just masked and primed, ready for a new coat of paint before the museum season opens.

Thats the "Empress of Agincourt", a unique Engine that was the one and only RSD-17 ever built. The nose was cut down for visibility in 1988.
It looks like they've given her a good rub down in preparation for re-painting, which will make her look great, a fresh coat of Action Red will go a long way to improveing her somewhat weather beaten appearance.
More info on the unique history can be found at the ECRM Website.
