A Mike McIlwaine photo. A threesome of QNSL SD40's brings a westbound under Lauzon Road on approach to Windsor in early 1984. CP purchased QNSL 204-218 and eventually repainted/renumbered them to 5400-5414. Instead of hauling taconite pellets in Labrador, they spent the last half of their lives on higher speed merchandise and intermodal trains.
