Railpictures.ca - John Eull Photo: Rolling past the St. ALbert (city) sign, that’s not the station name here–it’s Campbell Park…Nonetheless, the crew will soon be calling the RTC to report that they are clear of OCS limits on the former NAR Westlock sub and Walker Yard to either get yarding instructions or learn that they are being held out due to congestion. L59051 originated in Smith, AB and has 16 loads and 89 empties, including a long cut of empty Herzog ballast cars. A pair of SD40-2s lead the train–5367 (originally built for the Missouri Pacific in 1973 and acquired by CN from Union Pacific in 1994) and comfort cab equipped 5265 (built new for CN in July 1975). | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

If this is what normal power is, then I need to make a trip out there.

While not necessarily the “normal power” on the Westlock sub, there are certainly lots of SD40-2s in the Edmonton area. They are typically assigned to heavy yard assignments (e.g. at Walker Yard), locals, transfers (e.g. to Scotford), low priority regional freights (e.g. to Calgary), and work trains. They are sometimes mixed in with SD60s and the former NAR SD38-2s.
