Remarks & Notes |
I always wanted to photograph one of these F40M-2s as soon as I saw photos of one as they were delivered to the Canadian American Railroad, an Iron Roads shortline whose hard luck story was just a step above Iowa Pacific (basically just take away the passenger trains and vintage equipment). Iron Roads was bankrupt and gone before I could get a photo of one of these units, but fate would have it that I would come across one in Colorado. The crews weren't big fans of these. When I expressed my like for them to the GM, he replied "We'll send you home with a couple." |
