Canadian Railroads > CP 8000 leading CP 650

CP 650 is seen through St-Mathieu, Qc (a bit southeast of Exporail) this afternoon. This loaded ethanol train is on its way towards Rouses Point, NY, where an American crew will get onboard.

1&2- Rebuilt GE CP 8000 leads the train. Of note is that CP 8000 is riding on steerable trucks, something found on some of the 8000-series rebuilds, but not on any of the 8100-series rebuilds as far as I know. Edit: 8130-8144 actually have steerable trucks.

Nice ! Thank you for sharing !!! :):):)

I believe that if they arrived for the rebuilding with the steerable trucks they kept them.

Interesting air tank placement.

Nice, I saw your shot on Flickr when I looked up 'CP 8000' on that site to see how good it still looked.
