Through the prairies not around them! Thats right this exCP SD40M-2 started out as D&RGW 5333 and is now owned by Mobil Grain. 5493 is seen here on the Last Mountain Railway at their small terminal in Aylesbury Saskatchewan.

    Love these flared radiator units. Don’t think I ever shot a six axle variant with a flared radiator in CP (Doubt one is left. Anyone?)

    This is a Gem.

    Now just imagine if they were to paint it up in Mobil Grain colours.

    I was kinda happy to be able to shoot a faded dual flag in Aylesbury last August (I think I shot the other one if I recall correctly). I like it as it is but maybe I’m an outlier haha.

    Quite remarkable I think. May 2020 and here we have the old flexicoil trucks with the brake cylinders located down below between the wheel sets. I have not seen those in some time.

    Spiffy! Last time I saw this engine was in Chapleau quite a few years ago.
