CN switched to the Nathan P5 back when they merged with IC. Grand Trunk used the M3, but later switched to the K3LA while CN had Canadian-tuned K3Ls. The K3L and New-Cast P5 both work well for the CN. But, the old Grand Trunk K3LAs sound out of place, like they were ordered by the Santa Fe and sent to the wrong address!
that 6420 was originally a Detroit Toledo and Ironton RR, thanks for sharing:)

@pimposcar1000 YEah I guess mostly tracks in ChicagoLand Area are used by either CN, NS or CSX.

The GT is used primarily for switching here in Champaign. The 5845 has an unusual horn on it...

Thank you very much, Oscar! Yep, they're both owned by CN.
