Notes : Renumbered to St.L&H #5648 (9/1997). After suffereing carbody damage, #5648 received the CPR Beaver painted hood from #5637 (4/2003), retaining the St.L&H decals on nose. The St.L&H decal was later removed and a spray painted CP was applied to the nose, becoming CP #5648. Rebuilt at Progress Rail, Sahagun, MX., became SD30C-ECO #5039.
