UPDATE:

Coming Soon!
CP Holiday Train Locomotives.

CP utilizes these units on their Holiday Trains across the Canadian and US systems.

These units are fan favorites with Christmas lights, flags and of course, the holiday train.

CP 2246 (Used on the US Holiday Trains)

CP 2249 (Used on the Canadian Holiday Trains)

Both units come in DC and DCC Sound. 

Delivered around 2013, these units were produced by EMD/Progress Rail from old GP-9 “donors”, but very few parts were reused from the original GP-9s.  Sporting a 2,000 HP 8-Cyl 710G3A prime mover; these locomotives feature a new frame, fuel tank, long hood and cab. The units also received rebuilt DOFASO trucks.

Canadian Pacific is the only railroad to place orders for these units; the first 30 units (2200-2229) began to arrive in early 2013. CP then placed two more additional orders around 2013-14; 40 units (2230-2269) and 60 units (2270-2329) bringing the total to 130 units.
