Information |
The GMD-1
is a freight locomotive designed by General Motors of London
for Canadian National and delivered to CN and Northern Alberta
Railways between 1958 and 1960. It is a versatile road switcher,
equally at home on the mainline, on the branchline, or in the
yard. Visibility in these things is great - that's probably
why many of them are still in service for CN all these years
later.
The 1000-series GMD-1 was designed specifically with light rail
branchlines in mind. With its A1A trucks, the weight of the
locomotive is spread over six axles instead of four. The centre
wheelset on each truck - both on the prototype and the model
- is a 33" idler wheelset that has no pulling power whatsoever.
In 1988,
CN began a comprehensive rebuilding program. 15 of the GMD-1
locomotives were rebuilt into 1600-series GMD-1A engines.
The rebuilds had their prime movers upgraded to 645C (by using
645 power assemblies in the original 567 engine block). Among
other things, they also had their cabs reoriented for short-hood-forward
operation; the external spark arrestors replaced by internal
spark arresting exhaust manifolds; brakes upgraded to 26L;
and their end platforms extended with anticlimbers.
