CP 7305
Title:  CP 7305
Description:  Built for Lehigh Valley in 1972 and later went to the D&H. I never saw any of this number series in service on CP, as they tended to stay in their ex-D&H territory in the northeast US.

CP 5490
Title:  CP 5490
Description:  This one was built as a Southern Pacific SD45. I was surprised to learn that CP ever purchased U.S.-built EMD locomotives secondhand. For a long time I thought they were all either built by GMD in London, Ont. or were merger acquisitions (such as the Soo Line locomotives).

STLH 5619
Title:  STLH 5619
Description:  The St. Lawrence & Hudson was a short-lived (1996-2001) CP subsidiary that mainly operated their ex-D&H trackage in the northeast U.S. I saw two of their locomotives (5593 and 5651) leading a train on their Wisconsin main line in June of 2011, the only time I've seen any in motion. This, rotting in the NRE boneyard, is the first one I've seen at all since.

NREX 5431
Title:  NREX 5431
Description:  Built for MoPac in 1975; sold to CP in the mid-1990s and put into service in UP colors with red "CP Rail" text on the long hood, red cab side numbers and italic "CP" on the end of the short hood. That would have been interesting to see, shame that at some point in the interim it received this blah gray dip.
