I actually saw this particular locomotive around that time too (2003/2004). I always wondered what the deal with the cheap paint job was. Cool shot though, thanks for sharing!

These units were originally owned by Ontario Hydro. Dedicated to coal service. Since CP had the contract they were painted as such. They lost the contract to CN. Note the CN style cab numbers. In 2000 they were transferred back to CP. If memory serves me correctly they were all retired by CP around 2002.
