Also don't forget MPEX 5000, which has a sort-of Canadian cab with an SD45-style radiator section.

I got a picture of this unit when I was out at Fostoria. It was the trailing unit on Q380.

In a word , No!

Canadian Roads never bought an SD45 or SD45-2 new.

There were SD40-2s with Canadian Cabs and they looked a bit odd with all that empty space at the front end.

The MK rebuilt GP40s used in MARC commuter service North of DC have EMD wide noses and flared radiators, but only four axles. But they look good!
