Former hump-assigned
For a couple of week back in summer 2024, CN assigned GP38-2 7512 to Coteau. I was thrilled to finally work on a 7500-serie unit, the last one having leaved Montreal-area back in 1997 when the hump at Taschereau yard was closed for good.
Since then. many 7500-serie GP38-2 were modified for road switching service even if retaining their long hood forward running configuration and the lack of cow catcher on either side.
GP38-2 7512, built as CN 5547 in 1973, slowly pull empty ties service gons from track Q045 on a sunny September morning while working L538 job.
