Canadian Railroads > Before and After of one of CN's LNG Units

Did some shooting with a friend yesterday that included catching CN 5258 on the point of a freight. The 5258 was one of 2 SD40-2W'sd selected for conversion to diesel/LNG (natural gas) fuel for testing purposes. When the testing period was complete, the 2 units were converted to conventional diesel fuel, but retained their SD45 like radiator sections. The 2 SD's are now in the general freight pool. Looking through my files, I found I had shot the 5258 before the conversion took place.

#1 5258 still in factory applied paint trails 2 SD40u's at Scotford Alberta. March 6 2010

#2 Sporting new paint and a modified radiator section, 5258 and an SD60 team up to pull train 556 south from Fort McMurray to Edmonton Alberta. July 27 2014 Redwater Alberta
