Seems to be that there might be 2 "last" GP9s, perhaps because they were both completed and delivered in August 1963?<br /><br />MEC #450, purchased from Algoma Central in 1981, is referred to as the last GP9 in various places online. It was AC #171 apparently. So you would think 172 might be the real last GP9 because it has the higher number? Not really sure. Also not sure if the former MEC #450/AC #171 is still around anywhere.<br /><br />Not that it really matters, just interesting afternoon Google diversions. Either way, I agree, a historic loco!Mike McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902543654492633693noreply@blogger.com
