CP SD30C-ECO repower unit CP 5004 was photographed completed at EMD’s plant in Mayfield, KY in January.

http://locoslides.com/CP_Rail_slide_list_5.html (scroll down)

A large group of CP SD40-2’s are now being rebuilt at EMD-Progress shops to meet Tier 0+ US emissions standards are in Mayfield, Kentucky.  These rebuilt SD30Cs are to be numbered beginning at CP 5000.  The SD30C-ECOs are basically rebuilt from SD40-2 cores and frames, and powered by a new 12 cylinder 3000 hp 12-710G3F engine. Similar to recent locomotives delivered by GE and EMDI, except for the headlight and ditch lights, LED lighting is expected.

Further information about ECO re-powering can be found here:

http://www.progressrail.com/repowered-locomotives-710ECO.asp

All 30 GP20C-ECO units numbered 2200-2229 are to be assigned to St-Paul, MN, releasing up 30 CP GP38-2’s.  E. Hunter Harrison confirmed CP will continue with this rebuild program.

The 4-axle GP20C-ECO units being built at the EMD Muncie, IN facility are being numbered  in the CP 2200-series and ride on new frames, and feature the 8-710G3A prime mover and other hardware upgrades.  Note the new style long hood, American-style steps, as well as a new fuel tank and cab.     

These units caught brand new and snow covered CP GP20C-ECO 2210, 2211 and 2212 recently assembled by Progress Rail Locomotive in Muncie, IN. 

Dennis Weber was first to catch CP GP20C-ECO 2202 and 2221 on CP property at LaCrosse, WI, January 26^th, with SOO 4416 up front.

The following GP7u/GP9u loco’s are tied up Retired at Coquitlam, BC  pending cannibalization for usable components at the SRY shops in New Westminster, BC,  Later on these will be scrapped at ABC Metals in Langly, BC:

 Andy Cassidy snapped CP GP9u’s 1546, 1628, 1652, and 8214, in the Dead Line at CP Coquitlam Diesel Shop Mile 111.9, CP Cascade Sub on December 29^th

The following GP7u/GP9u locos have already been scrapped at ABC Metals.

Mark Forseille submitted his shot of CP GP9u 1588 inside the SRY Shop being stripped in New Westminster, BC March 19^th 2012.

On Dec 8^th at the Coquitlam Diesel Shop Andy Cassidy noted more Dead-Line units at the shop waiting disposition to SRY in New Westminster: 1652, 1530, 1691,1618, 1612, 1575, 1692, 1632, 1636, 1647, 1609, 1538, 1614, 8230, 1557, 1615, 1508, 1628, 1546, 8214, 1543, 8237, 1514, 1574, 1573, 1610, 1607. This, in addition to a number of other tied up locomotives; both serviceable and unserviceable are making it a congested place these days.

Out of all these, here we see CP GP7u 1508, and CP GP9u 1514, 1618  and  1691. Note the modified rear carbody on CP and 1514 and 1691. Several Geeps were tested with an extra capacity sand box area, but the experiment proved it was not cost effective to modify the fleet.

Kevin Dunk snapped the following three great shots:  A pair of westbound CP GE’s are just topping the crest of Fassiferne Hill west of Cranbrook, BC on the Moyie Sub with a general manifest train.  In the background Fisher Peak sizzles under the heat on top of the engines, February 25^th, 2011.

Looking almost like a perfect computer simulation, Kevin caught the Children’s Wish Foundation train from the Hwy 3 overpass near Sentinel, BC.  This is the Crowsnest Sub, with a lovely sweeping wide angle view of the Canadian Rockies in the background, taken July 17^th, 2011.

UP 8291-8171 and mid-train DPU (UP 8265) are working the Cranbrook Sub with potash loads just passing under Hwy 3 between Galloway and Jaffray, BC, on October 4^th, 2011.

Then and Now:  A classic lashup of C-Liner #4057, FM H16-44 #8715,  GMD F7B #4440, and wrapping it up with MLW FA2 #4092 taken at the old coking plant at Michel with train #984 back on Feb. 20 1974.  Of note, this same photo was used in Greg McDonnell’s book ‘Passing Trains’.  I’ve also added NewsPhoto #13 of this year’s AAPRCO passenger excursion train the “Kootenay Limited’ as a comparison to how much this valley has changed since 1974, PoW#51 and NP#13 were both taken near the same location.  I’m also including another image from the BC Archives collection showing an elevated view of that same coking plant seen in John’s image.  When you drive through Michel today you would never guess of what had been there previously.

On June 4^th, 2012, Kevin photographed the AARPRCO “Kootaney Limited” passing through the same spot (MP 13.4 on the Cranbrook Sub), as CP SD40-2  5915 pilots the Amtrak F40PH 406 and the private cars at Michel, BC. 

In this black and white image, John Southerland beautifully captured The Empress CPR 4-6-4 Hudson #2816  steaming past the section house  at CP Wasa MP 11.8 on the Windermere Sub on October 18^th, 2006.

Dennis Weber snapped CP Train 199 with CP 8900 and 8805 at Rockland,WI on January 6^th, 2013.

On January 26^th CP Train 285 had an interesting consist as DM&E-6370, NS-8932, and CP-4600 came into Dennis’s view at LaCrosse, WI.

Bob Heathorn took this shot in late 2012 at the crew change spot at  Smiths Falls, Ontario on the busy Montreal Toronto main line. A speed swing was pulling rail west on the south track with the 9363 on train 143 waiting to depart.  

CP  609 rolls through Dorval on a sunny January 15^th with October 2012  released CP SD60 6236 leading a long train of oil empties.

On January 16^th Jay Butler caught  CP T76 with D&H sister units CP GP38-2  7309 and 7310 west by Ringold, ON.

Canadian Pacific Railway emerged as the middleman in a five-year deal between Phillips 66, the refining arm of Conoco Phillips Co., and Massachusetts-based logistics provider Global Partners LP,  to ship roughly 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day from North Dakota’s roaring Bakken oil field to a refinery in Linden, New Jersey.  The Canadian Pacific Railway has come through  a tumultuous year of management shakeups including veteran E.  Hunter Harrison installed as CEO after a bitter proxy battle, is hitching a ride on the great U.S. petroleum revival.  Over five years, the equivalent of roughly 91 million barrels of oil will be transported via CP’s rail network from a loading facility in Stampede, N.D., to a Global terminal in Albany, N.Y., potentially generating an additional $78 million in revenue this year for CP plus $90 million in 2014, as First Energy Capital Corp. analyst Steven Paget has calculated.  (via Avrom Shtern with thanks)
