GP9 in 2009         
Wow, my second GP9 of 2009, and 2009 is only 12 days old! One can only imagine what this unit has seen. I love that NP style bell on the nose. I had just enough time to shoot of this shot because a cut of cars headed for the hump would soon block this view.

Josh Peters General This unit has seen a lot of the CN Rivers sub in Winnipeg, MB where it spent it's entire service life switching cars around the city for BNSF Manitoba LTD. This engine would bring cars to CN's Fort Rouge yard, then from there CN would take the cars south via the Letallier Sub to Emerson to interchange with the BNSF! Alas this unit will not be returning and has temporarily been replaced with BNSF 2710 (GP39-2), and that will soon be replaced by a GP50 or GP60! Wish I would've got some pictures of this one while it was still here...nice pic! 3/15/2009 12:15:28 PM
