I would like to edit the Wiki page but before I do I would appreciate confirmation. HESR 3036 is not a GP40-2LW but a GP40-2W. It was in the last batch ordered by CN that did not have the tall I-Beam like the previous orders. The L designated the taller I Beam. The purpose for this was to fit a larger fuel tank under the frame.
Anyway, can someone please confirm 3036 should be a GP40-2W.
HESR 3036 GP40-2LW 1976 CMGN Black Ex-HESR 9712/CMGN 9712/CN 9654.
correct
"CN would receive 35 of the GP40-2W’s between March and May of 1976. Their numbers being #9633 to #9667. CN would acquire ten more GP40-2W’s from GO Transit in 1991. The only other buyer of this model, the GO"

GC 2116 has been reassigned to the Commonwealth Railway from the C&A, CWRY 1534 suffered an electrical issue possibly beyond repair. 3557 ran the NS Portlock Yard wye and now faces north. 3557 and 502 are the only power for C&A until they receive another GP38-2. 2116 will likely not return to CA

Was 1534 the only unit on the CWRY? I still had it as LTEX 1424 lol.
I see Randy Keller listed it as: CWRY 1534 GP15-1 (EMD 787249-66, 11/79, 787249-66, ex-LTEX 1424, ex-NS 1424, nee-CR 1650).
