Trains and Such
This gallery has been one of my most successful to date for purchases of my photos.
One of Ten
Seen here is CP 7011 one of the ten SD70ACU rebuilds in Canadian Pacific heritage paint schemes; the 7011 as seen here at the west end of the Alyth yard wears a tuscan red and grey paint scheme with script writing.
The units feature crew comforts and safety features such as the Progress Rail “Q cab," featuring an AAR control stand, an emergency access door located behind the conductor’s seat, forward and inward facing cameras, an electrically assisted hand brake, and full-length window awnings. Also included are new control electronics, Mitsubishi AC propulsion components, NYAB CCBII electronic air brakes, and positive train control.
These units are also equipped with Progress Rail’s EM2000 Control System and FIRE display screens. Each rebuild weigh 432,000 lbs., have a maximum speed of 65MPH, and are rated at 4500 horsepower. These units meet Tier 1+ emission standards.
