Caption: During spring 2008, Canadian Pacific sent several of their MP15AC’s and MP15DC’s to have modifications performed at Ontario Southland Railway’s (OSR) Salford, Ontario shop. These upgrades were performed by ZTR, which is a supplier and installer, if required, of parts for locomotive enhancement. At the time, ZTR was contracted by Canadian Pacific to equip units 1440–1447 with the Smart-Start system and also a form of adhesion enhancing equipment. The work was performed in the Salford facility by ZTR with testing following by OSR on their trains at the time. Canadian Pacific interchanged the units with OSR at Woodstock.
MP15DC 1442 is seen along with several other OSR units outside the Salford shop on a sunny spring afternoon shortly after arriving from Canadian Pacific.
