Chemin de Fer de Matapedia et Golf 6909

CFMG 6909 is an SD40, formerly CN 5070 (class GF-30d). It was built in 1968, leased to the Quebec Railway Corporation for use on the NBEC, retired from CN on January 22, 1999, and rebuilt by Alstom by the spring of 1999 for CFMG.

6909 belonged to the CFMG (Chemin de Fer de Matapedia et Golf) but was often seen on the NBEC. Both the NBEC and CFMG were owned by the Quebec Railway Corporation.
