NB Southern Railway 9803

This unit was built as GP35 #7465 for the Southern Pacific in May 1964. It was acquired as SP 6577 and rebuilt to GP38-3 specifications by CLN Industries.

NBSR 9803 threw a couple of pistons in late July 2006 and was laid up for a while. It received the engine from 3700 in late September 2006, and was not operational again until early May 2007.

9803 takes the transfer freight over the Reversing Falls bridge in Saint John on February 9, 2006.
