Taken from the bridge to the Botanical Gardens - great place to watch train action.

Both the 7259 and slug 236 are GP9 units, built in 1958-59 and remanufactured at the CN Pointe St-Charles in Montreal. CN 7259 was the former 4259 with high hood, till about 1990 when it was remanufactured and CN 236 was converted around 1988.

Canadian National Railway 4000-4036 are CN/GMDD GP9RM diesel locomotives. They were rebuilt in batches by CN at their Pointe St. Charles Shops in Montreal, Quebec during the 1980's and 1990's from GP9 locomotives originally built by GMDD in the 1950's. They were given the designation "RM" for "Remanufactured".

Caption: CN Van 79846 with GP9 4590 on the point just dropped a long string of CN flat cars and Sante Fe Coal hoppers in the once bustling Macey Yard. The Van was built in the CN Pointe St. Charles shops in 1976/77.

Originally, CN GP9s had high short and long hoods and most were set up to run long hood forward (controls on right hand side with long hood pointing forward). The CN GP9s in service later (model GP9RM) were rebuilt from older GP9s.

Sep 29, 2022 · Here's a GP9 in the CN 15 scheme, celebrating the railway's privatization. This is not a terribly common scheme. I was lucky to run into GP9 7256 a few years ago on a brief stopover at Sarnia Yard in July 2021.
