Comments on: CN FPA4′s were uncommon on the west coast, but then again, they appeared from time to time. Here GMD meets MLW…. GMD says “what’s you doin here?”

Don, both CN 9158 (ex-9080) and 9166 (ex-9110) had those full-louvred grill replacements. Weird.

@mrdanno4050. FPA-4 and FPB-4′s were also regulars on passenger trains in the Maritimes as far east as Halifax.

Since those FPA4′s usually stuck to eastern Canada in the Windsor-Montreal corridor, this would be a bit of a surprise for any western railfans that day!
