Here is a shot of 5432, a SD50F, in the paint chip CN, not the current scheme as I wrongfully referred to in the previous post. I guess that I never saw it in my time in Edmonton.

Current CN 5432 is an SD60, originally an Oakway unit, which would have been toiling for BN when you took this shot, Steve. If CN 5432 is trailing here, it’s been retired since roughly 2008.

You guys really got me going. I went through my photos looking for 5432 and 5455 to see if I had any shots of an SD50F in anything other than stripes. I did not find any.
I only found SD60F and the DASH 8′s in the paint chip NA scheme.
When I searched online, I found the 5432 in the current one-stripe pattern.
Which brings me back to …. Are you sure that the second unit is a 50? I would be inclined to believe that it is a 60 from the second batch.

5432 was in CNNA, 5455 was in current scheme sans website. So it’s likely either 5432 or 5537… not possible to tell which from that angle.

…as was 5455? Maybe others too.

I think 5432 was in a CNNA scheme as well.

You have better eyes than I.
I cannot even tell that it is a 60, not a 50.

Seems that 5537 is the second unit on this train… only SD60F in the CNNA scheme.
