Comments on: Back when it seemed GP40’s ruled the rails. Back in the mid CN and CP we’re both dealing with motive power shortages. Often leading and borrowing foreign units. Along with a group of NS C30-7’s, CN also borrowed a group of Conrail SD45-2. There was no mistaking the units considering they all had oversized fuel tanks. I believe some are still roaming NS rails today. Here a short eastbound with CN GP40-2W 9661 and borrowed Conrail SD45-2 6661 are heading towards Paris West after crossing the Nith River well in the distance. There is a bit of a clash of the seasons going on with snow and left over fall colours.
