Nice shot of the ol SD40. I gotta say, kinda creeped me out for a moment...had a flash back from the movie Run Away Train!!! Was almost ready to see Jon Voight standing on the roof!!
Awesome video! i love that paint scheme, & have a few GP9's on my layout like that. BTW, I've got a video up of an ex-CN sargent striped M-420W hauling flatcars & hoppers through town. Maine Eastern owns it now, & they kept the old paint job on it.
NBAisman, Well,,, I wouldn't say I hate GE's, but they probably aren't as "beefy" as they should be as far as motive power goes. LOL. Alcos are cool too. MLW? Eh, they're OK I suppose, since they're in the Alco family.

Is CN anywhere near Prince Rupert yet? I guess that is where intermodal, coal and grain usually is.

I think CN started using it in the 1973.

When to when was the zebra stripe scheme in use, and how many units are still in it? Nice video.

Mostly GP9's and SD50's and SD60's have that stripe scheme. They are petering out.
