Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: GP40s on CN on the roster as 4002-4017 were renumbered to 9302-9317 in 1981. The CTG shows no 9311. Does anyone know what happened to it? Wrecked as 4011?? Anyway, it was rather unusual to say the least that 4 of these units would unite to power one train. Pictured is CN 9309, 9312, 9305 and 9313 slowing to a stop in Hamilton yard on a run from Mac. Here, one of the units was set off so I did not follow the train down Niagara. The standard GP40s were all off the roster by 1998; the 9309 to RLK then retired; the 9305 to UP and most recent it is wandering as GMTX 2102. The 9312 and 9313 went to Roberval & Saguenay as their #’s 60 and 66. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

CN 4011 was the one totalled in a cornfield meet on L&N in 1978. Interestingly, SOR 4095 which visited the Hamilton shops out of view to the left on occasion, was ex-CN 4004. RLK 4096 on GEXR/OVR is also ex-CN, former CN 4006 and still has its’ snow shields. Awesome shot by the way!

They used them in Sarnia in multiple sets as pullers through the tunnel before they were sold off.

Thanks for the information, guys. I knew y’all would come thru. Trying to maintain information is becoming tough for such a wandering mind.

That 4011 certainly took a beating! I learn something every day on RP.ca. Thanks for this link.
