Wierd, real life kitbashing. Did EMD make that or a CNW shops monstrosity? (I'd guess CNW shops, too ugly for EMD.)

That's got to be one of the most interesting locos I've seen in awhile! Great catch!

This is a Crandall cab unit. It started off as a Union Pacific E8B unit, then the CNW bought it and added a cab to it-Crandall was the Motive Power Superintendent at the time.
