Cargill G-8 1134 (A613 6/54) ex Columbia Cellulose 1134 exx CN 852 exx CN 1102 nee 7672 @Evansville IN 7-17-85.
While GE export locomotives were sold to Hampton & Branchville and Santa Maria Valley and White Pass & Yukon had Alco export units, this may be the only EMD export unit to operate in the United States.
It is ex CN which had two groups of A1A-A1A G-8's; standard-gauge for use on prairie branch lines and narrow-gauge for Newfoundland as well as G-12's that it inherited from London & Port Stanley. The narrow-gauge G-8's remained A1A-A1A units throughout their service lives, while the standard gauge units were converted to B-B by simply removing the center axle.
This unit is one of the A1A standard-gauge units and you can easily see the space where the idler axle was removed from the trucks.
