Strange lash-up on a local

I've been observing this local for almost two years now. It performs switching at Fort Rouge yard, local job to Fort Garry Industrial Park #2 (aka former Manitoba Sugar site) and to the cement plant, which is where this local is coming from. I've seen the following lash-ups for power, with an * added to those that are very common:
GMD1u solo
GMD1u + GMD1u* (used to be common)
GP9RM + GMD1u
GP38-2 + GMD1u
GP9RM + GP9 slug*
GP9RM + S-3 slug*
GP9RM + YBU-4 slug
GP9RM solo

As you can see this has to be oddest lash up yet!
CN 7517 GP38-2
CN 233 GP9 slug
CN 7220 GP9RM

Thanks. I thought I had a better shot of it actually, as this picture doesn't show the front very well. I've also posted it as a roster.

I hope FCA csan buy one of these zebra locos too. Today I met one BB40-2 with white stripes I adored it (ex-CP 5828)

CalMurray, yes it doesn't have the best paint job.
pedrop, didn't you already catch an ex-CN SD40 in Brazil? I think you have three of them.
As for ex-CP SD40-2's, it sure would be nice to see pictures. I'm looking forward to exx-CP, ex-NREX 5635.
