CN's SD40 rebuilds Part 2 GCFX 6030-79 which later became WC 6900-49

CN sold 40 SD40s to Connell Finance (GE Alsthom) in 1997. They were re-manufactured by AMF Technotransport in Montreal in 1997 & 1998 to SD40-3s equipped with dynamic brakes and lead pacesetters.. They were lettered GEC Alsthom and numbered 6030 - 6079. They were subsequently leased back to CN and beginning in July 2003 most were lettered WC and re-numbered into the 6900 - 6949 series. The lease ended in April 2008.
They are seen mainly in Nova Scotia but also in British Columbia.

In the mid-1980s 5334, seen just past 12:00, was painted in a special color scheme for Expo 86 in Vancouver. I only saw it once, briefly, as it passed through Kingston, Ontario, and got a picture of it.

+smwca123 5334 was of course an SD40-2 and I hope to do a video on those later. Unfortunately I never saw it in the Expo 86 livery.

Originally built for CN? Or one of the many railroads they bought out?

[@iggyjill]

They were all rebuilt from former CN Sd40s
