Comments on: Montreal, Maine and Atlantic started up on January 9, 2003. For start up power, they acquired 16 B39-8Es from General Electric. They came through Southern Ontario in two batches of 8 on CN 236 on December 7 & 8, 2002. The attached photo shows the 2nd batch on December 8, cut off from the train to make a lift at Aldershot. Also in the consist were GECX 3000 and 3001, which were C30-S7 “Super-7″ demos. They did not stay on the MMA, and ended up in Brazil on the MRSL. GECX 8592 became MMA 8592, and was one of two B39-8E to be repainted in the MMA maroon/gold scheme. The repainting came as a result of 8592 nailing a truck in Hampden, ME while on the Searsport Local and ending up in the ditch. The collision occurred April 11, 2006. After the MMA bankruptcy, I don’t know where 8592 ended up. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
