On
display at the GMD plant on August 12, 2000 were these two examples of
passenger power. GO 539, class GCE-430h, is a 3000 hp F59PH which had
been produced in 1990. Also generating 3000 hp is VIA 6448, class
GPA-30c, an F40PH-2 from 1989. In checking through my photo collection,
I found that pictures of the rear end of passenger units are few and
far between, so modellers might find this view of 6448 to be a useful
reference. The orange marker lamps are non-standard, and appear to have
been applied by CN before they transferred the locomotive from London
East up the Guelph Sub to the GMD plant.
