R

CN 4727

CN's Maritime operations have traditionally been well-known for their MLW's, however these days, all that separates them from the rest of the CN system are these guys - GP38-2's. Unlike other RR's (such as CP!) where GP38-2 heards are common, CN avoided this practice by creating three distinct classes:
-The "normal GP38-2" you see here, very common in Atlantic Canada
-The widecab version, common on the Prariries: http://tinyurl.com/2lamgd
(I hope Elijah doesn't mind me linking to his photo, I have my own rosters, but none are online yet)
-The "hump" version, numbered in the 7500 series: http://tinyurl.com/2z3uyu They normally work large city hump yards with two slugs in between.

Sadly this is the only "normal CN GP38-2" that I have pictures of. I've taken many photos of him in Halifax and Edmundston, but it turned out to be the same one! See what I mean: http://tinyurl.com/2u79fl

PS. The state of Maine is across the river in the background, along with with the MMA RR, hence you are looking at US scenery LOL. In other odd news, this is one of the last photos I've taken while still being 18 years old.
