Plus the other three units on M341. NS SD60M, NS Dash 9W, CN ex-CNW standard cab C40-8. Interesting lashup! All were on-line and pulling.

Or is it still GTW? No reporting marks on the cab side, or CN logo on the long hood on this unit. It, along with a few of its sisters, has been floating around the state the last few months and frequently end up on rail trains working the Barron Sub re-build up north.
