Built by GMD (EMD Canada) in February of 1953 (serial #A440), this loco looks almost like a GP7 but the narrow 3'6" truck gauge, wide frame base and the pointed front cab (hidden) makes it stand out from the GP7. Specs - V12 567 prime mover, 60 mph max speed, 1200 hp, continuous tractive effort of 40,000 lb. A note on the back of the photo states "CN #908, built 2/53 (NF110's 900-908 & NF210's 909-946) are strange relatives to geeps. They are 12 cyl, 1200 HP, 42" gage C-C, with 4 longer hoods, all assinged to Newfoundland." Since there is no listing in RRPA data base for NF-110, a later model, NF-210, was selected.
