CEFX 2802
Title:  CEFX 2802
Description:  A strange story that I've yet to hear, the former CN SD40 trails today on its way back towards Canada. The Canadian remnants on this engine are faint, but there. The low brake whejl, the eyebolts on the pilot, the split air reservoir above the fuel tank, and a vertical headlight on the rear. Other than that, she looks awfully La Grange to me.

Title:  All in the family!
Description:  And no exceptions this time. This former CP SD40-2 is the West facer of four EMD's. CITX 3077 (Ex SOO), DME 6088 (Ex CP), and NREX 5542 (Ex STL&H/CP) all rest at the CP's Pigs Eye Yard. Crazy.

I've been hoping to shoot the 3070 and 3077 for quite some time, as they are the only two ex SOO SD40's on lease from CITX at the moment. This unit still retains its closely spaced ditchlights, short fuel tank, and rear handbrake.

At first glance
Title:  At first glance
Description:  I was just happy to see this straight SD40 body back on familiar turf. Then I noticed how hte patches were placed and realized that this was one of the rare STL&H non- Dash 2 units. Neat unit. It says SD40-2 on the side but I was un-aware that these went through any rebuilding program.
