At last count, only 27 unrebuilt GMD London(Ont.)-built SD40-2s remained in service, usually on MoW/nonrevenue trains like these ballast empties. The rest have been rebuilt or scrapped. |

CP 5792, one of very few SD40-2s in the Golden Beaver scheme, trails on the ballast empties |
| Description: |
Per other photos on this site, it received the large Multimark scheme as built, then was repainted into plain Action Red, then Dual Flags, then received the Beaver sometime between 2005-06. |

Beavers on the River |
| Description: |
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that CP is giving at least a few of their SD40-2s the new Golden Beaver dip, along with PTC capability that makes them able to lead on U.S. mainlines once again. Also notice the DMVW car first up in the train, the previous day a westbound CP manifest had three ex-CN SD60Fs heading for service on that road. |

Beaverfied CP 6025 |
| Description: |
I have a shot of this same unit in ballast service from August 2018, in the exact same spot on the Watertown Sub (only leading the empties eastbound) when it was in its old CP Rail Multimark scheme. |

2WWA-17 rolls across the Crawfish, taking the Herzog set out to Michels Pit to for another trainload of ballast |
| Description: |
A number of the SD40-2s received fresh coats of "Golden Beaver" paint a little over a year ago, and began appearing on these ballast and other MoW trains (post-merger in 2023, often sharing such duties with KCS SD70MACs, of all things). I had yet to catch one leading until now, and I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to get a matching pair! |

Beaver Sandwich |
| Description: |
The train pulled into the Pit, coupled onto five loaded WSOR Difcos (both railroads utilize this ballast transload site) and pulled them out to set them out of the way on the main west of the switch. |
