CR Widebody C40-8's

One of my favorites from the ConRail merger is the Dash 8 by far. An impressive machine that looks good even painted black!

 

Ex-LMS units are neat too! I think i am going to model these plain units!

 

A couple of going away shots!!!

 

I agree with you Len, I like the wide nose blue units, especially when they have the class lights:

It is a shame they welded over the class lights.

 

A couple more in black and white. Cant seem to catch them on the head end much

Here's a wide body that I got lucky and caught in the lead. It's leading 134 at Eufola, NC.

Now if I could figure out how to make my images larger and keep them in spec!

Here's one more LMSX unit taking P61 west through Eufola, NC.

 

Widenose or Widecabs. The "bodies" of these locomotives are the same size, and actually the cab width is the same. Safety Cab I blieve is the technical term.

 

Depends on where your at as to terminology! They are a much better ride thats for sure.

 

crews tend to refer to widenose units as widebody whereever you are, its just a another nickname.

 

Another widebody D8 with its new paint job.

And one more. Still got the class lights!

 

I shot this from inside a Dash 9. Best nose-on shot I have ever taken so far.

 

Beautiful shot Jeff, the red class lights really look good on black dont they!

 

I like that. Shots of the same unit at two different locations. Here's one more pic. It also has the good ole red class lights.
