Comments on: CPR C424s 4225 and 4200 are seen at Windsor Yard with C&O caboose A903 bringing up the rear of a tunnel transfer to Rougemere Yard in Detroit. C&O 1801 and 5745 lead the transfer.

The 4200 was definitely a unique one that should have been saved. Fantastic photo of my most missed CP locomotives. The 4200 was definitely a unique one that should have been saved.

Before the 4200s were converted into 'road switchers" instead of freight units, they had a side by side seat configuration, like the A units used to have. They also had these electric fans to clear fog off the inside of the windows. This was before the electric windows replaced the originals. All of the MLW units back then had fixed seats, no height adjustment, and could not be turned. The 4200s had a tiny nose compartment which eventually received a chemical toilet. Employees were reluctant to use them though, because you couldn't close the door unless you were quite small in stature. It's funny what one recalls when reminded by a photo like this. I really appreciate the efforts of those who chronicle moments in time through photos. This is a great photo to highlight the subtle differences between the first 4200 and a later one.
