About the Prototype: 

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.
