Central Maine & Quebec unveils Bangor & Aroostook tribute locomotive

[JM1261]

Since no one else has brought this up, I might as well.

The Central Maine & Quebec Railway, a 2014 startup, just recently released their Bangor & Aroostook tribute SD40-2F from the shops in Milo, Maine. CM&Q has 10 ex-CP SD40-2Fs, all except this one dressed in a smart blue and grey/silver livery.

I showed Gorbi that yesterday. He and I agreed it was a very sharp scheme!

Why do the Canadiens have the 'F' units??

In CN's case, they used cowl designs for operational and mechanical reasons. Another major factor would probably be the harsh winters.
