In pic #1 the walkway on the lead unit (possibly an M-640?) looks to be higher than the unit behind (an M-630?) It could be an optical illusion but if I'm seeing it right then I've learned something new, didn't realise their heights were different!

CP 4744 is the only M-640, and that ain't it. In the second picture you can see the 4726 and 4566 have walkways the same height (M-636 and M-630 respectively.) The first few 45xx's were actually designated C630-M, maybe that's the difference? They are both clearly 45xx's. The air filter configuration behind the cab is also clearly different. ...jr Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 01/28/25 06:45 by newtonville150.

I reckon you've got it with the C-630M v M-630 explanation, my best guess is the trailing unit is 4501 and the lead is a 455x. I've got weekend homework now: time to pull out the CP Tracks issues and see if anyone has done a write up. Posted from Android |
