In addition to the AC4400CWM program, CP has also begun rebuilding and renumbering some of its old standard cab SD40-2s, complete with a shiny red coat of the resurrected Golden Beaver scheme! |

CP 5108, bright and shiny second out on 281 |
| Description: |
Notice the strobe lights, a feature which seemed to fall out of fashion on locomotives and would now appear to be making a comeback. My only slight complaint with these units is that they removed the Canadian-style bell between the numberboards, but left the empty mount. The units now have an e-bell in the standard, underframe location just ahead of the fuel tank on the conductor's side. |

| Title: |
CP 5108 third out on 247 with engine room door open |
| Description: |
One of a small group of SD40-2s rebuilt to "SD40-3" in late 2017/early 2018 and renumbered. They were some of the first units to receive the "Golden Beaver" scheme upon its reintroduction. They were intended for yard service and received features such as the strobe lights accordingly. The Canadian-style bells mounted between the numberboards were also removed and replaced with electronic bells in the typical underframe location (visible just above and to the right of the front truck), but the empty mounts were left. To my pleasant surprise, this was not done to the recent SD40-2 repaints such as 6025 and 5973. Fourth time I've seen this unit since April 2018, always trailing on a westbound manifest. |
