Ill make it a bit easier. This loco served just as much if not more yard work and industrial than road work. But we're seen on the road quite often compared to others of its type.

can it be my turn for now? ?:P
This type of unit has a strong resemblance to a NW-5 but is Canada's own version.
Hint: CN still has them.

Builder and build date? It'd be quite the challenge to narrow it down with that info

I enjoy your enthusiasm.

Here are the rules if you haven't seen the updated version.

UPDATE!!!

Rules are simple:

1. 6 guesses per question (Hint will be given if 3 guesses remain)

2. Guess has to be of USA/CA to be valid. (No offense, I know little of anything but.)

3. Anyone can ask a question, so long as the previous question has been answered, The person who guesses correctly get's to ask the next question.

4. No using the internet to get the answer!

5. No double answer responses!

6. Have fun. !*cheers*!


NOTE: Passenger Trains have been added to the game!!!

Next question:

Built by the BN, BNSF still owns them
This locomotive is a cross between two other types of older locomotives
It is a switcher engine but does not have the frame or trucks of one

Guess what locomotive it is

GE ES44C4? Aren't BNSF and FEC the only two railroads to own these?
