<br /> <br /> Dear Readers, <br /> <br /> <br /> The Mighty CPR still stables various GMD/EMD End-Cab " Switcher " Locomotives altho' some were for and still may be equipped for Road Service, having Illuminated Number Boards on both ends, Electric Class Lights, Speedometer and Road Air Horn when they left the Builders Works in the Fifties/Sixties. <br /> <br /> Saw CP 1238 Isolated going West in a Locomotive Consist ( Lashup ) about Three Weeks ago. <br /> <br /> I understand this Unit is now Classed as a Switcher tho' once a Roadswitcher 81xx Class. Do NOT know if still has Road Transition or Diesel Upgrade. <br /> <br /> <br /> Photos from Internet. <br /> <br /> A YARD version. <br /> <br /> http://www.trainweb.org/galt-stn/cproster/locomotive/1200s/cp1238.htm <br /> <br /> And a ROAD Version, deep in CLC Opposed Piston Country. CP 8103 and CP 8114 also served at Nelson in early Seveties. <br /> <br /> http://www.trainweb.org/galt-stn/cproster/locomotive/8100s/cp8117.htm <br /> <br />
