Comments on: On an eventful trip around Maple on Canada Day in 2022, we stopped by the pullback tracks at CN’s MacMillan Yard on the way home before dinner. The usual hump sets have an SD40Q, slug, and another SD40-variant trailing. This set with 6003 and 250 had a nice surprise today: GTW SD40-3 5954! Built as a standard SD40 by GMD in May of 1971 as CN 5185, it was retired and rebuilt by Alstom in 1998 to lease to KCS, before being leased and later purchased back by CN. Unlike the CN 6000-series SD40Q units that had their cabs, noses and other details modified, the rebuilt Alstom SD40-3 units still retain most of their “SD40 look”. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

This unit is still operating there today. I photographed it this spring with 5328 and 6014. Nice! This unit is still operating there today. I photographed it this spring with 5328 and 6014.
