Description

In 1955, CN ordered six pairs of the FPA-2 and FPB-2 Locomotives from MLW. They were delivered with a 1600hp, Alco 244 V-12 prime mover. By 1958, CN wanted to improve the reliability of the FPA/B-2 locomotives so it rebuilt two pairs with a 251 V-12 motor – thus giving them their unique “FPA-2u and FPB-2u” designation.

CN also enlarged the fuel tanks and made other changes. All four would survive into the VIA Rail Canada era.

These were truly unique locomotives, important to CN and VIA’s history. In fact, the two rebuilt FPA/B-2us would become prototypes for the future MLW FPA-4 and FPB-4 locomotives.
