Eastern Railroad Discussion > NREX Highnose SD40-2Date: 01/17/05 16:39 NREX Highnose SD40-2 Author: NJTMatt Caught this in Morrisville Yard today. The CP rail logo is still visable under the grey paint.

Chris Date: 01/17/05 17:34 Re: NREX Highnose SD40-2 Author: DWHonan Wow, I remember seeing those things (then black) on the D&H Colonie Main from out the window of my middle school, way back when CP had SD40-2s from every leaser under the sun roaming around. They also still had MLWs running back then... I can still remember watching a track geometry train roll by one day with an M630 on the point... and not one photo of any of this have I... *sigh*

CP Rail System and renumbered 5475-5483, but two didn't (3253 and 3254). They stayed in black patched NS paint with white CP Rail lettering on the long hood. I remember seeing one with a note taped to the cab window saying the cab wasn't to be occupied. (this was a few years ago).

I swear that I saw that unit in Columbus about a week ago. If so, good utilization.
