The four-axle units were high-horsepower racers built to appeal to railroads in the early 1980s looking to turbocharge their growing intermodal business. They could be found in multiples at the head of piggyback and auto rack and then-new double-stack container trains.

The design found customers in several of the larger Class 1s of the period: Santa Fe, Conrail, Seaboard System, Southern Railway and Southern Pacific. With the mergers of the mid-1980s and the Conrail split of 1999 the bulk of the fleet ended up with CSX and Norfolk Southern.

Charles shops to extend the operating lives of the GP9s. The “GP9RM” was the result, which was divided into three groups: The 4000\/4100 series were rebuilt as road units, the 7000 series as switchers and the 7200\/200 series as “mother” and “slug” pairs. The slugs lacked a prime mover, instead drawing power from the mother to operate the traction motors. The long hoods were cut down and ballast was added to help weigh them down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"V07TJJ8\"\u003e     The GP9RM fleet included a chopped short hood, addition of three coloured marker lights on both ends, the bell moved to the side of the hood and the dynamic brake blister converted to intake filters. Internally, the units had upgraded 16-645C prime movers and improved electrical systems. The 4000\/4100 series road units were changed to have the short hood end designated as the front, with the control stand reoriented, while the 7000\/7200 switchers retained the long hood designated as the front. As with any rebuild project, there were differences from one loco to the next as well as minor changes over the ten year rebuild program. One could see these locos all across the CN North American system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e      The Rapido GP9RM represents the locomotives rebuilt from the original phase II GP9 locomotives, with details corresponding to the earliest rebuilds, right on up to the last, in 1988. The biggest variation of the slug rebuilds was the use of Blomberg and Flexicoil trucks. Both variations are represented! Starting in 1994, CN applied Belt-Pack remote control systems to the 7200\/200 series locomotives. Some of these new features included extra antennas and strobe lights – all details that will be featured on the 7200 series from Rapido!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-group\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-content-type=\"column-group\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-grid-size=\"12\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"CH9LWPA\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-line\" data-content-type=\"column-line\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"BQ11WGO\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column\" data-content-type=\"column\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"CKUBKPR\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"U76GP77\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e   The Rapido Trains HO scale CN GP9RM locomotive features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy diecast frame with super detailed piping and traction cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Blomberg trucks, with and without outside brake shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraction motor details on gearbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking track lights, class lights, control stand lights and flashing belt pack lights on select mother-slug sets (Late sets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple battery box styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpark arrestors or open exhaust stacks as appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal side handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking ditch lights on 4000, 4100 and 7000 series locos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear plows or curved plate pilots on appropriate road numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootboard pilots on mother units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed walkway tread\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e   The Rapido Trains HO scale CN GP9RM Slug features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy diecast frame with super detailed piping and traction cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully motorized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Blomberg trucks with outside brake shoes or Flexicoil trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraction motor details on gearbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed walkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal side handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootboard pilots or curved plate pilots on appropriate road numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth models are available as DC\/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DCC\/ESU LokSound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651760967936,"sku":"RAP41514","price":509.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/rap41014__99141.jpg?v=1748906886"},{"product_id":"rap28550","title":"Rapido HO Scale Erie EMD E8A DCC Sound Diesel Locomotive #820 -

This new series of locomotives provided extra tractive effort spread and weight distribution across the six-axle trucks. Production lasted from May of 1951 to November of 1953.
