In 1966, the Diesel Division of General Motors of Canada Ltd. (GMD) constructed eight GP40TC locomotives, essentially GP40 diesels on SD40 frames to accommodate Head End Power (HEP) equipment, for... (more)

I believe the GP40TC was used for the yard move to bring the Lake Shore Limited over from the yard, instead of making a shove move with someone riding the MHC car. Photo date is approximate.
