doesn't look like a CN train. I liked it better when CN was CNR

They need to repaint the snow plows I have lots of videos it is kinda depressing seeing how ugly looking they are.

IC 6071, Ex ICG 6071, Ex GM&O 950, Nee EMD 434, yes, the worlds first SD40 built on an SD35 frame

Aside from the awesomeness of the WC plow, isn't IC 6071 the very first SD40 ever built? Built as demonstrator EMDX 434? Correct me if I'm wrong... Given that you are into EMDs I'll trust what you say:-)

Great video!

This loco is a rarity (or soon to be, at least). I think the IC received the first batch of SD40's produced in the mid 60's
