For those who have heard their unique sound will never forget it. I sure miss them!! Bringing in a long train and then dropping it off at the yard just to the east of Truro are CN 2008, 2021 and 2023. All these M-420(W) behemoths on CN were retired or sold by 1996. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

But....these are not M420(w) units, they're C630M's Awesome shot….I agree a truly unique sounding locomotive, especially when they are being worked hard.
