The locomotive of the Speno rail grinding train is pictured on the wye track at Capreol, Ontario. This has to be one of the more ugly GP38-2s ever created!

    I think it’s a custom built F40. Not 100% sure.

    Two little exhaust stacks (can’t see from this angle), two cooling fans at the back, no turbo sound (you had to be there to hear it), nope, she’s a 38 through and through!! But, still ugly. Thanks for the comment.
