Going to work At the depot in Field, British Columbia, a Canadian Pacific railroader heads to his power on September 16, 2002. Between 1972 and 1985, CP acquired a huge fleet of EMD/GMD SD40-2s numbering 489 units, with 6027 one of these machines built in December 1982. By this time a couple of decades later, a number of the locomotives were converted to B unit status and to be operated as a trailing locomotive only, with plated windows being an obvious sign of such service like on 5771.
