233 GP40-2L(W)s were built for CN (9400-9632) and 35 GP40-2(W)s (9633-9667). They also purchased 10 units from GO transit (9668-9677). The GP40-2L(W) were built with a taller and lighter frame than the standard GP40-2(W) to allow for a larger fuel tank. This leads to a larger air space between the air reservoirs and the top of the fuel tank. This video shows both types of locomotive in operation although CN has sold many of these locomotives.
This video completes my coverage of all types of CN locomotives that have operated in Atlantic Canada in the last decade. The ES44DC, ES44AC & ET44AC locomotives are covered in "CN's GEVOs on train #120 in Halifax NS area" and the SD70I, SD75I and SD70M-2 can be seen in individual videos. All the videos of locomotive types can be found in the playlist "Archival Footage of Canadian Trains". Enjoy.

The Canadian Zebra is a shy and rare breed, you can only catch small glimpses of them as their heard stops near a cool stream for a drink before they move on. Simply majestic creatures.

Thanks for all you've shared and your dedication to our hobby. Your central Alberta series of videos along with many others will remain in my favorites for eternity. RIP David Othen

The CN's 4th order, the standard frame GP40-2W's were assigned to run the Montreal - Portland Maine thru freights for a number of years. We saw the 9633-9667 all the time. Some low numbered 9400's on occasion and on a few rare occasions, some 9500's. We also saw some of the GP38-2's, both regular and wide nose units before they departed and the 2500's were assigned the thru freights before the 9600's showed up. (I learn the 5500's showed up as the 2500's early on had an overheating and shutting down problem. Once corrected they returned for a number of years down here and the 5500's were reassigned.) The GP40-2W's were nice units. Unfortunately Guilford, PanAm runs 20 of these X-CN units, both of the lighter framed and regular framed units.

Great shots, Love the video! If you can you should do a compilation video of CN's GP38-2W's

These are different from the GP40-2’s because they have wide cabs, 4 windshields, a perched bell, no midsection radiators etc. These are GP40-2W/LW’s.

Hi David. Enjoyed your video. Lots of good shots. I particularly liked the initial shots with the train reflections in the calm water.

I am hoping someone can tell me what those small stacks on the short nose in front of the conductor and some in front of the engineer are for. Thanks.
