    CN no.7104 CN no.7104

    7104 from series 7100-7107 remanufactured by Pt St Charles shops in Montreal in 1987.
    The cab, frame and trucks are from SW1200RS 1248 the long hood came from a retired GP9.
    These unusual 'Sweeps" (Geep + Switcher) are still active.
    The 8 conversions are the only examples; probably not cost effective.
