Could someone please inform me as to why this unit now has flared radiators? My notes claim this unit to have been retired a while back but this photo shows otherwise.

I just posted about this unit on a couple of chat groups so maybe I'll get some information that way. It also looks like the area behind the cab has been modified.

Interesting. Now we know what an "SD40MC" would have looked like if the MBTA had chosen six-axle locomotives. ;-)

Also, where in Montreal was this photo taken?

I just got word from a chap on the Loconotes group that 5258 and 5261 are being modified by EMD and another firm to burn Natural Gas. According to this article two other units will be converted as well but no numbers are given. http://www.idstransportation.com/news/rails-taking-another-look-at-natural-gas-engines
