The Dash 8 series of locomotives have a 7FDL-16 engine that generates 4000 hp. CN purchased 55 new Dash 8-40CM locomotives with the full car body including the Draper Taper. They also had a long term lease agreement for 25 Dash 8-40CW locomotives from GE's Locomotive Management Services (LMS - later LMSX). These spent 6 months on Conrail and 6 months on CN each year. After the breakup of Conrail CN purchased 12 of these units.
CN also acquired 26 Dash 8-40CMs when they purchased BC Rail. These units were add-ons to the original CN order but had been upgraded to Dash 9 specifications and 4400 hp by BC Rail.
Since 2010, CN has purchased 77 second hand Dash 8-40Cs from UP (some via CREX) neé CNW and 67 Dash 8-40CWs from BNSF neé ATSF.
Units from all these groups have come to Halifax and are seen in this video.
