Trains in Vancouver ,Washington, in December 2001

I took these pictures at the Amtrak depot in Vancouver, Washington, on December 23, 2001, after arriving on the Portland Section of Amtrak’s westbound Empire Builder. Union Pacific #3161 is a 3,000-horsepower SD40-2 that was built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in February 1972.

 
Canadian Pacific #9124 is a 4,300-horsepower SD9043MAC that was built in December 1998 by General Motors Locomotive Group and assembled at Canadian Pacific’s Ogden Shops in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

 
Canadian Pacific #5954 is a 3,000-horsepower SD40-2 that was built by the Diesel Division of General Motors of Canada, Ltd. In London, Ontario, in October 1980.

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.
