This old MLW FA-2 began life in 1953 as CP 4085. It was retired in 1977. Not long after it was converted to an "air repeater car", for use in the mountain railroading of the West. I do not have a retirement date for this unit, but it has been gone for quite some time. A rare old piece of CP history.

    Something about CP, the 1100 series, and re-purposed MLW’s, eh?
