Canadian National FP9 No. 6528 is a passenger-hauling locomotive built in 1957 by General Motors Diesel, a Canadian subsidiary of EMD. FP9s were essentially an F9 freight locomotive extended four feet to make room for a steam generator and water storage for passenger service.
CNR 6528 was photographed on Kodachrome by Roger Teskey, idling between assignments in Windsor, Ontario back in 1974.
In the late 1970s, 6528 ownership was transferred to VIA Rail Canada, and was among a group of FP9s extensively rebuilt by CN for VIA and re-designated an 1800 HP FP9ARM.
Today, 6528 is on display at Exporail, a Canadian Railway Museum in Saint-Constant, Quebec alongside former CN FP9, No. 6529.
