Notes
SD40B No. 6450 was quickly repainted into the "hockey stick" paint scheme before it entered service on the Soo in 1987. The dynamic brake housing was moved to the front of the hood from its usual location when it was rebuilt by the Burlington Northern in 1981 after a wreck. During the early 1990s, this unit received the "Proud To Be Part Of CP Rail System" decal under the road number on the hood -the only SD40 to receive this application. Built as BN SD40 #6302 in 10/1971, later became BN #7600. Delivered to Mandak Metals in Selkirk, Man. for scrapping on May 30, 2004.
