Here is a link to Trevor Sokolan’s photo of it in Redwater AB. He describes it as a former LNG loco.

I was definitely surprised to see it. Having it been a surprise catch too. Also only a few min after one of CP heritage units went by.

It should be. This unit is currently assigned to and being used in Sarnia yard as a slave. This is a rare catch in the lead for sure.

Very possible I don’t remember the road numbers for those units

Was CN5258 one of the LNG test units? Note the unique flared rear radiator section.
