NBEC 1821 is an MLW RS-18 purchased from Canadian Pacific in April 1998. It was built by MLW in April 1957 as CP 8741, and rebuilt in 1984 and renumbered to CP 1821. After the sale of Quebec Railway Systems to CN, NBEC 1821 (along with NBEC 1868) was sold to Le Massif de Charlevoix, a tourist railway outside Quebec City, and became LMCX 1821.

1821 and 1868 were purchased by the Gaspe Railway in late 2018 or early 2019.
