Canadian Pacific contracted Relco Locomotives in Albia to build at least 2 of these Herzog-esque self-propelled M/W trains. This units “A” end is powered, converted from GP38AC CP 3001 and carries two numbers, CP 403011 and MW 9507-10. The “B” end is driving controls only and carries the numbers CP 403091 and MW 9507. The cars are converted well cars. I believe this info is correct from other sources but would welcome comments.

    The information you’ve conveyed here matches up with what I’ve heard. I’ve also heard from an inside source that it’s provoked some controversy in the matter of who is qualified to operate it. After all, it is for all intents and purposes still a locomotive.

    The three GP38 locomotives converted for use as Power Units on these first three MOW Trains were CP 3001, CP 3005, & CP 3007.

    I also have heard a little about this debate. I understand that if it is a piece of MOW equipment it does not need a full qualified engineer to operate it. To me it sure looks like a locomotive with a train. I would be interested to hear if any one knows how things work out.

    I was just driving down Ogden Road on the weekend when I noticed the MOW engine sitting. Really different, had never seen it before. Would make an excellent model engine.
