Railpictures.ca - Michael Berry Photo: LNG test unit leading an insane lashup. A late CN 324 has a pair of SD40-2W’s leading a Dash8 cowl (CN 5258, CN 5287 & CN 2417) as it heads east on CN’s Montreal Sub. The lead unit had been converted to run on LNG fuel for test purposes a few years back and acquired SD45-like flares in the process. It has since been converted to regular diesel operation. The two lead units came into Montreal in the wee hours of the morning on CN 372. SD40-2W’s have become very rare in the Montreal area, so this was a nice catch. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

The red on the angled part of the roof on the rebuilt unit just looks wrong.
