QUOTE: Originally posted by chad thomas The first one was a tunnel motor. You can tell by the shape of the anti-climber. They are most likly B-units because the cabs will not meet labor agreement requirements. It's easier to just condemn the cab and call them B units then to bring the cab up to snuff.
QUOTE: Originally posted by chad thomas Yea, and note the single bulb headlight instead of dual bulbs.
QUOTE: Originally posted by espeefoamer There were several comments on the second picture claiming that the unit was ex CP.When did CP buy high hood SD40-2s. Did CP buy these from Southern Ry. or N&W?
QUOTE: Originally posted by broncoman Where did the grande veranda porch come from on the first picture. A tunnel frame is the same size as a regular -2, so if you put a standard radiator section on a tunnel you should get a standard 40-2, yes? Could it be a sd50 frame witha 40-2 long hood?

Tunnel motors are longer than the standard version.

Tunnel motors are longer than the standard version. A tunnel motor frame is on the same frame as a standard 40-2. Check out "The Field Guide to Modern Desiel Locomotives". If it says that, it is wrong. I checked with BNSF's "Equipment Characteristics" (SP 8268 and UP 3769). The SD40T-2 is longer than the SD40-2. The SD40T-2 is listed as 70'-8" long, the SD40-2 is listed as 68'-10" long.
QUOTE: Originally posted by chad thomas UP did the same thing a while back with some SD40-2s. They added a B at the end of the road numbers, like 3434B.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Cris Helt I think CP purchased the high hood SD40-2s in the early 1990's from NS, painted over the cab windows, and refered to the units as "B-cabs," or something like that.
