Heritage Unit 4107
19 March 2024

I had one brief encountered with CP 4107 on 27 Oct 2021.
 
The 4107 was the third unit on CP's St. Paul, Minnesota, to Kansas City, Missouri, manifest that travels down the west side of the Mississippi River.
 
Apparently it was enroute to Relco Locomotives in Albia, Indiana, for some work.
 
I caught it at LaCrescent, Minnesota.
 


The train had to pick up two cars and the locomotive at LaCresecent.
 


The dispatcher insisted that the 4107 remain last in the locomotive consist so we saw a little switching in the small LaCrescent yard.

While CP 4106 and 4107 have been upgraded and are basically a GP38-2+, they were not equipped for Positive Train Control (PTC).
 
The 1401 is so equipped and now is the proclaimed leader of the pack.
 
Not sure if the 4106 and 4107 are getting the PTC treatment.
