Help ID'ing a paint scheme..

I was just curious... Stephen Harper is standing in front of some locomotive, looks like an SD40 or similar... but I'm not familiar with the locomotive number or paint scheme...

Anyone know the unit?

New Brunswick East Coast, looks like. A regional line in New Brunswick that operated ex-CN lines which CN recently bought back.

Almost... it's New Brunswick Southern, also known as NB Southern (reporting mark NBSR).

Thanks, I always seem to confuse the two.

Now that we've determined it's all Canadian, off this goes to Ken V's Canada railfan forum.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Wrong Mr. Perkowski! NB Southern is not “all Canadian” You could just as easily see this locomotive in Mattawamkeag, Maine with a train connecting to Pan Am Railways or in Brownville, Jct. Maine with the MM&A.

NB Southern route miles are just about evenly split between the US and Canada. In Maine, NB Southern operates as the Eastern Maine Railway but with NB Southern equipment.
