| Here was a view looking south along Justin Cemetery Road at the north end of the Wabtec-GE test track, three miles north of the Fort Worth locomotive assembly plant. On the right were Canadian Pacific AC4400CWs 9525, 9523,9554, 9539 and 9501, part of 10 such units which were having their traction motors removed by a CP crew with help from Hulcher Services out of nearby Saginaw because the railroad had an urgent need for AC traction motors to repair flood-damaged units. The flatbed semi just ahead was one of many such rigs that were used to bring the motor-axle combos up to Canada. In the distance new Canadian National ET44ACs 3193 and 3208 were going through their 50-mile certification process. |
