cx500 That CP B-unit was just dirty from the hump retarders at CPR's Alyth Yard in Calgary. Not exactly decrepit, and this many years later that pair of AC4400s probably looks far worse. Not sure what vintage your picture is, but they left CPR's roster quite a long time back. CP overhauled two B-units to be assigned to the Alyth hump, in company with GP9s. While I believe they initially were working units, later their role was reduced to brake slugs when handling the long cuts.
