Canadian National G8 851 (originally 7671) was sold toTexas Industries sometime in the 1980s, renumbered to 208-1 (although still displaying its old 851 number in the number boxes) and repainted in an all-over yellow livery, where it was used for some time. It is currently stored on a length of track in Boulder, Colorado. In late 2021, the locomotive's current owners donated it to the Colorado, San Francisco and Northern co-operative, who are planning to restore it to working order.[3]
The G8 was also built in Australia under licence byClyde Engineering, withVictorian Railways purchasing a total of 89 between 1955 and 1969, with later variants including a redesigned cab, carbody and radiator (theG8B)[4] and those built after 1967 (theG18B) equipped with the newerEMD 645 engine rather than theEMD 567 which had been fitted to the earlier locomotives.[5] They were designated as theT class.
