SWEEP!!! No we're not curling, but still this is truly Canadian. CN's SW1200RSm #7106 sits in Van De Water yard in Windsor, Ontario back in 1992. These units were built using SW1200RS's and placing a GP9 long hood on the frame, hence the term "Sweep". These were pretty common in Windsor for quite some time in the early 90's and I think we had all 8 that were on the roster in at one time or another.

    7100 still exists. It’s in use at a steel plant east of Edmonton.
