Canadian Pacific SD40-2F #9009 in Vancouver, Washington, in December 2001


Canadian Pacific SD40-2F #9009 built by the Diesel Division of General Motors of Canada, Ltd. in 1988 in London, Ontario. It is one of only 25 built, all for Canadian Pacific. Nicknamed “red barns,” they were the only cowl-body diesels on the Canadian Pacific. They were built to SD40-2 specifications at Canadian Pacific’s request, despite the fact that regular SD40-2 production had ended several years earlier and competitor Canadian National had already purchased SD50Fs.
