That’s pretty good for a cell camera IMO.

The first two units are odd, the Go transit F59PHI (I think?) and the SD40-2 with the odd nose light. Might be an Ex-SP or DRGW unit.

Neither SP nor DRGW had SD40-2s, they both bought the tunnel motor version. I think that is actually a bell on the nose. It is probably an ex-CNW locomotive.

Could be a SD40R

The dynamic brake housing is the shape of SD40-2’s housing. The amount of distance between the nose and hand rails looks excessive for an SD40. SP never had bells in the nose. UP never assigned any UP numbers to SP’s SD40Rs.

Excuse me. I;m sure I;ve seen that light on SPs, but 2978 is a CNW SD40-2

Google am funn

Most SP locomotives did have LIGHTS in the nose, but never had BELLS in the nose. The thing in nose of the locomotive in the photograph is a BELL.

Right I got that earlier. It looked like an unlight light to me.
