Back when new GO F59PH's had taken over a lot of GO's commuter trains and rendered their older power surplus, some of the ex-Rock Island GP40-3's found their way leased to CP for freight service. At Woodstock in early February 1992, CP SD40-2 5590 leads GO GP40-3's 724 and 723 on a westbound freight near the west end of the yard, just past Ingersoll Avenue. Both would be traded in to EMD two years later on a new F59PH order, and join the EMD lease fleet in the EMDX 200-series.

Caption: Back when new GO Transit F59PH's had taken over a lot of GO's commuter trains and rendered their older power surplus, some of the rebuilt ex-Rock Island GP40-3 fleet found their way leased to CP for freight service (at least one unit roamed as far west at Alberta). At Woodstock in early February 1992, CP SD40-2 5590 leads GO GP40-3's 724 and 723 on a westbound freight near the west end of the yard, just past Ingersoll Avenue.

  1. Go units on weekends was common, trains to Port McNicoll on grain trains was common then as well!
