Comments on: A freight works the west leg of the wye in Burlington in early 1969. Note the dimensional load cars and the crewman “on the ground”, as well as the interesting GP-9 4149/CPB-16-5 lashup! http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I think they did time in Winnipeg, and it might have been a cold operating environment modification or test (in the early 1960's perhaps(?)). There was also a duct that ran from the hatch closest to the cab down the right side of the long hood (other side of the unit, since LHF) to the walkway too, but it may not have lasted as long. Photos show it may have been replaced with a simpler duct flowing right into the top of the hood.
