The CN units were built originally for the Burlington Northern and were later purchased by the Illinois Central before transferring over to Canadian National. They are used with other CN power on all types of freight service and are occasionally used in pool service with other roads. As a prototype, this was the most popular second-generation diesel with sales of over 3000 in the U.S. and more than 700 in Canada.
