Railpictures.ca - David J Parker Photo: During the summer of 1980 the GM/EMD plant at Lagrange IL was at full capacity pumping out SD40-2′s for Burlington Northern. To speed up delivery it was decided to construct two batches (7167-7235, 8075-8089) at GMDD London. Here 7235 the final from the first batch is at the CP in Windsor. It, along with 7234 will be lifted by the C&O Puller. A spotting feature of the Canadian built units was the smooth sided traction motor blower bulge (behind the cab). The US built units had two horizontal strengthening bars. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

The Tuesday Night group taught me well Earl. That sky looks more like Montana than Windsor.
