Railpictures.ca - Peter MacCauley Photo: That new-engine smell… Brand new CP GP20C-ECO #2253 has been assigned to the Quebec street yard job for the past two days in place of GP9 #8238.

If you ask me, they are neat to look at, but don’t have the charm of the old geeps. One has to wonder if 8246 senses that its’ end is near… | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Oh the irony! Nice capture of something that’s going to be rare when the rest of the GP9′s are retired.
