The FPA-4 an FPB-4 are unique to CN, combining the rugged looks of the FPA-2 with the reliability of the Alco 251 prime mover. They were delivered from Montreal Locomotive Works over two orders in 1958 and 1959 and soldiered on Canadian and American mainlines until 1989. Following retirement, the FPA-4 and FPB-4 locomotives were given new life on tourist railroads across the United States. Many are still in service today.

This Special Run produced by Rapido exclusively for Prairie Shadows Model Railway Co, includes an accurate Alco FA locomotive nose created from a 3D scan of locomotive #6765, at Exporail, Canada’s national train museum.
