a) ALCO/MLW
RS3 8427
This is a former MLW built Canadian Pacfic RS3 which CP chopped-nosed. It then went to a paper mill on Vancouver Island and is now at The Alberni Pacific Railway at Port Alberni where it is a back up engine for both the steam train and the local paper mill.
RSC14 1754
This is a former MLW built Canadian National RS18 which was converted by CN to RSC14 and is now in operation on the Salem & Hillsborough Railroad in New Brunswick.
This is the interior of BCRail re-engined RS18 600 and is similar to that of 1754 above although it has been repainted (the green-grey was the original cab colours) and it has been chop-nosed, hence the extra windows.
b) GENERAL MOTORS (GM)
PACIFIC WILDERNESS GP10
Here are two photographs of the Pacific Wilderness Railway/Ohio Central US built and rebuilt and chop-nosed GP10 # 703 taken at Victoria BC on 13 June 2001 just prior to the closure of the tourist train. Although the locomotive does not have the usual dynamic brake blister, there appears to be a control lever for a dynamic brake similar to that found on the Canfor dynamic braked SW1200RS illustrated at the bottom of this page.
CN GP40-2
This is the interior of a GM GP40-2 which is typical of a low hood unit. The brake and throttle handles have been removed for safety (normal practice when not in use)
CN SD40-2 without dynamic brakes.
These two units are similar to the GP40-2 but the dynamic brake equipped unit has an extra control handle above the throttle.
CN (ex CP) SD40-2 with dynamic brakes.
Rebuilt CN SD40
This is a newer version of the brake stands on the units above and includes a yellow vigilance button and warning light.
The Q-Tron computer diagnostic unit is located on the rear wall of the cab and is only fitted to the rebuilt units..
CN SD50
The desktop control stand was introduced on the SD50 units and also is used on CN's SD-60 units.
CN SD75I
CN returned to the vertical control stands with the SD70I and SD75I units. These are dynamic braked.
c) GENERAL ELECTRIC
Upgraded B39-8E
BC Rail has purchased some upgraded General Electric units - B39-8Es
CP AC4400CW
Canadian Pacific has desktop control stands on all its modern units including the last SD40-2 units which had full cowl bodies ("Red Barns"). This is the control stand in their latest General Electric units.
PASSENGER TRAINS
VIA F40PH
These units were built by General Motors and have a combined dynamic and air-brake control handle.
OTHER UNITS
Canfor operates the only dynamic braked switchers SW1200RS in Canada.
