Big in Milwaukee
Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) built 29 of these 3,000horsepower C630C's and M's for the Canadian Pacific in August 1968, using the ALCO 251 prime mover. Here, CP 4504 trails out of Milwaukee on a Chicago bound freight. These big MLW's graced the "new" CP for a short time before being retired from the roster in the early 90's. Not long after this photo was taken, the CP 4504 was sold to Engine System Development Centre in Lachine QC as a test cell locomotive (ESDC 1). I have no further information on it's fate.
