| CP Rail (1968) "Action Red" variations: |
| A5L |

first "CP Rail" paint scheme. The last unit delivered in this scheme was SD40-2
#5717 in 1975. |
| A5M |

applied only to GM hood units. Units so painted had a red area above the height of the
multimark on the rear of the long hood. |
| A5Mc |
Action Red, 5" nose/cab stripes, multi on cab (endcab switchers
only). In all likelihood, all switchers with 5" stripes had multimarks on the cab and
road numbers on the hood. |

#5700 was the prototype unit (1975) in this scheme followed by SD40-2's #5718-5777. |
| A8L |
Action Red, 8" nose stripes, large multi. 1977-78 deliveries came in
this scheme including SD40-2's 5837-64, 5778-99, 5900-14. |
| A8M |

Action Red, 8" nose stripes, multi on cab (endcab switchers only). |
| A8Mh |
Action Red, 8" nose stripes, multi on hood immediately in front of
the cab (endcab switchers only). |

SD40-2F’s #9000-9024. |
