RailPictures.Net Photo: CDOT 6694 Connecticut Department of Transportation (CDOT) EMD GP40-3H at Windsor Locks , Connecticut by 3-Step Protection Photography
On a frigid first day of February, CTrail 4407 from Springfield to New Haven, rolls alongside the frozen Windsor Locks Canal and Ahlstrom-Munksjo Nonwovens plant. The company manufactures fiber-based materials. CDOT GP40-3H 6694 was originally a straight GP40, built in August of 1971 for the Baltimore & Ohio, then saw service on CSX before coming to Connecticut, wearing the inspired New Haven McGinnis scheme. The locomotive was first rebuilt into a GP40-2H, with head end power (HEP) at AMF Technotransport in Montreal. It was rebuilt again by National Railway Equipment Co. in Mt. Vernon, IL.
