On 5/21/05 I visited Franklin Park, IL Railroad Daze and spotted a diesel loco but couldn’t identify it. Paint scheme was purple (faded) & gray. Numbers were
‘CEFX 136’. It was a 6 axle diesel. Can anyone help me?
That would be an SD9043MAC.
CEFX 120 to 139 are on lease to Canadian Pacific and based in Calgary Alberta. Built in 2000. I believe they are supposed to be used on the CP-UP trains running through the Spokane International route.
Every now and then one of those locos makes it out here to the lower mainland, don’t see too many of them though, I see lots of the blue CEFX 10##'s, mind you.
Is there a engine roster online for CEFX ?
I looked and could not find one.
Later Bill
this is the one I use:
