Canadian Railroads > QCM M636'sDate: 09/26/16 11:12 QCM M636's Author: CPR_4000 Did the Cartier M636's have dyamic brakes? (With loads running downgrade, I'd expect they might have.) If so, were the CN 636's they bought built with dynamics, or did QCM add them?

Regarding the ones sold secondhand to Cartier, I've never discovered whether the d/b was added by CN as a condition of sale before the units left Montreal or whether Cartier added it in their shop at Port Cartier.
