Comments on: CP was considering buying GE power. During a test a trio of GE Built BN Dash 8′s with dynamometer car in tow descends the west slope of Rogers Pass.

Interesting how all 3 units are painted slightly differently……5497 has a crooked BN logo on the cab, no number on the long hood…..5498 has no logo or number except in the number boards….while 5499 has cab logo and hood number.

I’m guessing a smaller than normal grain train with nothing mid train? Test must not have gone too badly; look at CP now, although not with B-B units
