A Classic at Work - Canadian Pacific GP9 No. 1513

Canadian Pacific GP9 No. 1513 hard at work switching at Shoreham Yard in Minneapolis. This unit was built by GMD in 1955 as No. 8512, and was rebuilt and renumbered as 1513 in 1980. It has been assigned to the Twin Cities for several years, and was recently leased for a few months to local short line TC&W. It's now back working on CP property. It's a good sounding, hard working locomotive. There aren't very many GP9s still running on Class 1s these days.

Really a sharp machine and the sound, Heavenly. I hear the sound about the earphone, really I can only say. MAD notices the cylinders like they work, at the same time the generator him the locomotive with the driving stream supplies if with her the lever herrum is laid. Simply has an eye. THANKS!!

[sd40u]

actually sounds like a 645E, I know some of CN's GP9's were rebuilt with 645's but the two are very similar

Some RR's refurbed the trucks with larger traction motors, D37s? on the GP7 and 9's. Were real durable when kicking cars.
