The SD70/75I was the first units I saw arrive brand new on CN’s roster. Seeing them being rebuilt now certainly makes me feel old. I remember seeing them in fresh paint, and now those that have yet to be rebuilt sport paint suffering from many years of service. Hard to believe I would be chasing these units in their original paint these days as they await their turn for a rebuild and AC conversion. After catching the train at Bowmanville my son and I wanted a decent side shot so we  headed for Coubourg to catch the pair kicking up snow on a -30 windchill day passing the VIA station. It appears 5682 has received a replacement snow plow possibly from a SD40 as the old white stripes are showing through the grime.
