In what may be its final ride across the prairies, GMD1 CN 1423 hitches a ride on M 31742 06 into Edmonton. The locomotive was retired in 2021 and spent the last few years at the CN Campus in Winnipeg, training future conductors.

    Nice catch. I thought the GMD-1′s were all retired.

    They were retired in March 2021. Many units were still in service in March 2021 when they were retired, so a few were still operating and not parked until April 2021.
