I am thinking number 4 might be a ex-BN loco that was sold to the CNW. I want to say 1986 was the end for all SD45/F45's on the BN.

Great shot of the coal load at Division St. in St. Paul, the end of the CB&Q, MP 430.  Probably coming off the Great Northern side at Westminster St.  BSB

6488 was purchased in August 1970 by the BN.  In my photo it does not have its number boards.   BN retired her in June 1985 and my photo is from February 1987.  So you sure could be right  Any idea what the C&NW road number was?

My notes show BN 6488 became CNW 6488 in December of 1985.  No number change.
