CN leased locomotives

[polekat]

I was interested in finding out if CN leased CEFX locamotives and in particular the SD90/43 Mac

No, Canadian Pacific still has a number of the CEFX SD9043MAC locomotives on lease, and they do travel over CN trackage on CP trains, but CN has never leased any AC locomotives. I don't believe CN has any locomotives on short-term leases at this time. They have been regularly taking delivery of brand-new locomotives.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping the answer was Yes because I am modeling CN modern and I had a chance to purchase a Kato SD90/43 Mac CEFX and they look so cool.

The CEFX SD9043s came in two separate groups but both left CP service some time back.  After a period of recession based storage some have now found new homes and paint schemes elsewhere. If any are still showing up on CPR they are foreign-leased units on a run-through arrangement.  The Blue CEFX AC4400s are still on lease and quite common out in western Canada.

I have been informed that CEFX 137 and 139 are on CP paying back HPH on behalf of the Indiana RR along with a HLCX SD60. So they should be done soon.

The IC 2400's (blue LMSX units) are leased.

I don't think the IC 2400's are leased units anymore.  A while back, CN has appeared to paint of the owner's name on the lower cab side and not they just carry the number, the IC sublettering and the CN noodle on the longhood.  Please correct me if im wrong but the only leased units known on CN are the CN(GTW) 5900 series SD40-3's that are all in storage.
