 In a blurry leftover scene from my archives, Amtrak's northbound Lake Country Limited passes the Metra station at Grayslake, Illinois. Power on this occasion was a Genesis diesel and the usual Horizon coach and baggage car. Afterward, my brother traps a mouse between the rails.

 TWO TRAINS MEET AT WALKERTON! After waiting an hour and killing the time with a walkthrough, my patience at Walkerton paid off! First, a VERY LONG eastbound CSX doublestack led by a GEVO with an unidentified mid-train DPU hits the Elkhart & Western diamonds. Then a westbound led by a pair of SD40's-one with a "SpongeBob" cab and one with a standard cab- hustles past with a local. Filmed on 8/30/22

CPKC orders new power from Wabtec

By Chris Guss | December 22, 2024

        

Additional power will help bolster the newest Class I's roster

Less than 1-month old, new KCS ET44AC No. 5022 leads a train into East St. Louis, Ill., on April 2, 2019. The new CPKC ET44AC order beginning delivery in 2025 will increase the number of ET44ACs on the roster to 203 units. Chris Guss

---

CPKC will receive some much-needed motive power help starting next year in the form of a 170-unit order of new locomotives from Wabtec.

The railroad has been heavily spending on capacity work across its combined system to support new traffic and motive power has been in short supply to move tonnage across its network. The order consists of 170 ET44ACs with delivery expected to be spread across a number of years considering the large amount of rebuild orders Wabtec already has committed to. Road numbers and reporting marks for the new power hasn’t been disclosed yet.

The ET44ACs will join an existing fleet of 33 ET44ACs, eight of which have recently joined the roster. These eight were a canceled Baffinland Iron Mines order in Canada that were selected from General Electric’s field test units. The other 25 ET44ACs were purchased new before the merger by Kansas City Southern in 2019. The 25 former Kansas City Southern units are the most reliable power on CPKC’s roster and are performing very well. 

Prior to the merger in 2023, Canadian Pacific had been the lone holdout across Class I railroads in adding Tier 4-compliant locomotives, not purchasing new units for over a decade before the CPKC merger. It instead opted to rebuild existing GE and EMD AC traction locomotives, the latter of which were long stored on the railroad. Canadian Pacific’s SD9043MAC fleet was rebuilt to SD70ACUs in 2019 and 2020, adding 60 additional units to Canadian Pacific’s active roster. Canadian Pacific’s last new power purchase was in 2012 when it bought 30 ES44ACs from General Electric.
