IC and the SQ also have SD70's in their fleets as well, but certainly not to the same quantities. <br /> <br />The SD40 is certainly at the end of its day on class one railroads but the SD40-2 with upgraded electrical systems is far from that same story retirement. <br /> <br />CP, having one of the largest fleets of this family is in the process of retiring many of the SD40's (I believe there are now less than 30 left) but there are no plans to retire in any great quantity the SD40-2's. The last of the SD40's ever built, the cowl designed 9000 series units of CP are commonly found in Southern Ontario on the systems hottest trains. True testimate that when push comes to shove, the railroads still want their most reliable power moving their money makers (though these last SD40s were anything but reliable when they were first contructed).
