Canadian Railroads > Freshly painted CP exGP35 at Kicking Horse PassDate: 09/25/14 01:07 Freshly painted CP exGP35 at Kicking Horse Pass Author: Marcus CP Control Cab 1126 recently returned to Coquitlam, B.C. from Montreal,
after refurbishment and repainting. It was previously mated with CP GP38-2 3026. CP 1126 was originally the first GP35 built for CP in 1964; first numbered 8202, soon renumbered 5002, and later converted to Control Cab 1126 in 1996. 1. A tiny unit sandwiched between two large GE locomotives heading uphill from Lake Louise to Divide. Fifty years ago, the tiny unit was top of the line. 2. Looks like a GP35 in CP’s current paint scheme. 3. Arriving at Field, B.C., for a crew change.

Basically they removed the rad fans and hatch and welded a piece of sheet steel over the opening. The exhaust stack got a sheet metal "cap" as well. DB fan and hatch are/were unchanged, since I believe when first rebuilt the dynamics remainder operable.

In photos where the back pilot is visible, extra cabling can be seen for power from the permanently-assigned GP38-2 mother unit.
