Two CP AC4400CW/GCFX SD40-2 Pairs Departing Portage 4/3/2008

My dad caught two trains leaving Portage Yard on April 3. Both of them were powered by a Canadian Pacific GE AC4400CW leading a leased GCFX SD40-2.

First was CP 8541 leading GCFX 3077 on an eastbound manifest which started to depart but then came to a stop.

Then CP 9654 and GCFX 3073 headed westbound with a unit ADM hopper train.

There is usually no need to lease engines during a recession with decreased traffic levels.

Same model as the 777 in Unstoppable :D

The train 777 was an AC4400CW

That's exactly what i thought of myself when i talked to a girl on facebook for the first time:A train leaving the yard bound for the mainline.

why what's wrong with them? Are they replacing them with new engines?

They are pulling alot of those SD40 CEFX's out of service. Storing them at different yard across the country. We have had a lot of them come in to Coquitlam.
