My first GP38AC!

On one of my last railfan trips before leaving Winnipeg, I managed to catch my first GP38AC, that was visiting town.
Although it looks very much like the more common GP38-2's, it is quite a different machine. For starters the GP38AC series is currently the oldest unrebuild locomotive series on the CPR roster (older than the SD40-2's by a couple years) and they're mostly Vancouver/West Coast units. However CP doesn't seem to notice that, as they are occasionally mixed in with the much more common GP38-2's (CP 3014 has been kicking around Saskatoon lately) and many have been repainted, implying that CP intends to keep them for years to come...?

PS. A GP7u of THB heritage can be seen in the background!
