    Built August 1964, delivered sometime in September 1964, so they would be both brand new here and probably not yet separated since delivery (GMD tended to outshop new units in pairs).

    Beautiful. I saw these units at Capreol on their maiden voyage west with a bunch of excited railroaders, including my father. The units ran together for quite some time on a 3-day cycle between Montreal and Winnipeg on trains 301/304 (possibly 401/414 back then). The first pair of C424s, 3200-3201, ran on the same schedule also. Great memories.
