From the Great Railfan Trip of 2001.

After spending the morning shooting NBEC between Jaquet River and Nepisiguit Jct., we headed across the province to Plaster Rock to intercept CN train 122. It's been 23 years since that day, but as I recall I had barely enough time after we arrived to climb on a pile of used ties and bang off this shot of Dash-9 2538 and an SD40-2W roaring past the east end of the siding with the intermodal train for Moncton.

We settled for just this one shot of 122, since 149 was about to make an appearance. Later we got multiple sets of 305 and 120 before the sun finally set that day.

One of the sexiest locomotives ever built, the SDP40.
The 3227 is part of only 4 on the Ferromex roster that once carried that model ID, now all have been rebuilt to SD40-2 standards, AND it's also part of only 2 that "keep" the original carbody, FXE 3209 being the other.
FXE 3212 & 3228 got the carbody modified on the rear and they no longer have the part where the steam generator would be located at.
