Aurora Miniatures 116510 - HO Scale Bombardier Transportation HR-616 Diesel-Electric Locomotive - DCC/Sound - CN No # (w/ Ditch Lights)

Prototype Information:

The HR-616s were 6 axle, 3000hp diesel-electric locomotives built by Bombardier Transportation in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1982. Twenty of these locomotives were built, all for the Canadian National Railway (CN). These locomotives were the first to incorporate a design that would be later known as the ‘Draper Taper’ - a full-width cowl body plus a tapered section immediately behind the cab for better rearward visibility. Other spotting features and specifications closely resemble earlier Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) diesel locomotives, of which Bombardier inherited the designs through the acquisition of MLW in 1975. All units were retired in the late 1990s and none survive today.
