Canadian Railroads > Cartier GP-9'sDate: 09/10/23 09:11 Cartier GP-9's Author: M-420 In November of 1986, I stopped for a short time at Port Cartier, PQ. While there, I grabbed this image of stored QCM GP-9's near the Cartier's engine facility.
All of the GP's had been laid up and they had clearly been laid up for quite some time - only a few had received the then-standard Orange/Black paint scheme. I believe these were the first low-nosed units manufactured by GMDD. This was the only time I had ever seen EMD products set aside instead of Alcos. Note the stamped metal herald, road name and road number. Brian E Edited 1 time(s).
