CP AC4400CWs |
| Description: |
Apparently the Canadian Pacific has a critical need for AC traction motors to repair flood-damaged units. The railroad decided to have the traction motor/axle combos removed from 10 AC4400CW’s that have been at the Wabtec-GE plant in Fort Worth waiting to be upgraded into 8000- and 8100-series AC4400CWM units and to have these trucked to Canada. The 9501, 9539, 9554, 9523, 9525, 9593, 9627, 9506, 9571 and 9536 have been moved to the north end of the 3-mile test track and the work is being done by CP personnel with the help of Hulcher out of Saginaw, Texas. The center combo on each truck is being completely removed, while the end combos are being replaced with idler axles. |
