Unidentified Type of Switcher

Saw a westbound stopping at Aldershot yard (Mlge 34.60 Oakville Sub.) to set of 2 units today.
Lead units were SD70M-2 8931 and SD75I 5638.
The set offs were 4959 ex BNSF and CN GP38-2(W) 4791.
BNSF rosters that I have looked at show 4959 as a Dash 9-44CW. It's not.
I'm guessing it's a GP38.
If anyone can offer any clarity I would much appreciate it.
Thanks
