Re: Soo/CP SD40/40-2 Extended Range DB

From: Mike Pulaski <MPulaski@...> Sent: Monday, March 27, 2000 11:47 PM Subject: [C-P-R] Extended Range DB/UP DAsh 8s/3084 According to Diesel Era, the Soo units were retrofitted with DB from Here's a little clip (verbatim) from a previous CP Monthly Operating Bulletin: - - - Subject: Dynamic Brake Factors - SOO SD40 Locomotives Repainted In CPR Colours The table in GOI Section 16, Item 7.1 b) states that Soo SD40/40-2 locomotives have 60,000 lbs retarding force (DB factor = 6) and that CP SD40/40-2 locomotives have 45,000 lbs retarding force (DB factor - 4.5). Confusion has surfaced because many Soo locomotives have been re-painted to the standard CPR paint layout. While the appearance and initials have changed, the locomotive number has stayed the same and the dynamic brake capacity has stayed the same. This means that all locomotives in the number series - Soo 700, 6400 or 6600 or - CP 700, 6400 or 6600 have 60,000 lbs retarding force (DB factor = 6) -snip- Wayne Mile 77 Sudbury |

Re: CP extended range dynamic and fuel tanks

If I'm not mistaken, all of CP's orginal 40-2's have extend rangebrakes and the largest fuel tanks...To the best of my knowledge, CP units did not have extended range DB (SD-40s). On the Dash two's, this feature is noted by the small acess door on the DB blister located @ the front of the unit, engineers side. CP's SD's have never had these. The only units(SD40's/dash2's) that I know that are equipped with this feature are the former QNS&L SD's and the former NS units. I can remember that when the 5400's firsted arrived, there was a bulletin advising that on these units the DB worked in a speed as low a 3-5 mph ( if I remember correctly) For example, look at the DB blister of a CSX SD40-2 to that of CP. CP units are missing the small access door. As for why CP would not by this feature: They are cheap. It took a major, million dollar wreck out west before CP management felt that it was wise to spend a million or so on a training program for engineers for the new control stands and features of the new high teck GE's & GM's. Any employee who worked on the mainline before the use of FRED's can tell you of the many options CP got for the crews. Cabs of engines had the following....three crappy sits, a ice bucket for water and a metal rack in the nose to hold the garage bag if you had to go to the bathroom. Enjoy your 198 mile run...LOL FYI T. Organ |

CP 3084
dcooke
That 3084 looks real good in those colors!
Now let's hope that the staff at Ogden misplaced the red paint and we can have a decent paint scheme again. * Also, I see that the number 'fonts' are correct as compared to the 'F's. Finally, take note of the class lights. They are still intact! That's amazing. The CP was removing them like a disease for a short while, and I'm surprised that these ones remain. That's fine by me. ..hope someone has a set of flags too. duane |

Re: CP 5600's equipped with UP strobe light
Peter Jobe
I would say that the 1972 "EMD built" DRF-30j class 5629 - 5658 had strobes
at one time or another. 5658 had one in 1985, 5654 had one when she was painted STLH in 1996. single amber strobe light centered on front of cab roof, just above the bell UP units that were made CP leaders were in the low 3400's, 3414 for sure.

First of all, this went to the wrong list. It should have gone to C-P-R.

So I'm sending a copy of this to it. As for the building dates, how specific do you want? I know at least the later numbers were built in 1938. Rob Joe Pereira wrote: Calling all experts on Canadian Locomotive Company. Can anyone give me |

train numbers. When I do a search, I only look the train # column for all the trains coming in or out of Smiths Falls, Ont.. So, you have to look for any departure train of Montreal,(431, 471, 481, 489,491 501,509, 535..919, 923, .etc.) departure from Toronto (500,502,..902, 926...738 etc)) to Montreal and also any departure from North Bay, Ont,(432, 446, 448,450, 472,482,542, etc...) plus any trains at Smiths Falls, Ont. It won't take me more then 10-12 minutes to trace down all the trains movement in the morning at the Falls.... -----Original Message-----

I'll bet that you and most of the other boys that have been on the railroad for a good number of years will agree with me that we've recently started to see major league changes in management attitudes. When it became official that the 2816 was to be rebuilt and put back into excursion service, that thundering drumroll everybody heard, was not the racing heartbeats of a trillion railfans, but rather the collective roar caused by the bones of hundreds of old CPR officials turning over in their graves at the thought of spending more than 5 cents cash on something so perfectly "frivolous". (The amount of cash caused some localized earthquakes in senior graveyards!!) :>) Truly, the "new guard" in senior management is a completely different critter than his predecessor. Half on 'em wouldn't know a wheelset from a mindset, but at least if you can make a good business case, they'll take a serious look at it - unlike the old crowd. Joe Smuin Phil Mason wrote:
