Most M420 units rode on MLW ZWT (Zero Weight- Transfer) trucks. The only exception to this were the 5 units built for the Providence \u0026amp; Worcester, which rode on ALCO trade-in FA trucks. The P\u0026amp;W required a different bolster design and a slightly different truck spacing, making them unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMLW constructed 103 M420s between May 1973 and February 1977 for four railways including CN (80), BCR (16 including eight B units), Ferrocarriles del Estado (2), Providence \u0026amp; Worcester (5).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCN would take delivery of the M420s in 3 groups: MR-20a class 2500-2529 (delivered 1973), MR-20b class 2530- 2559 (delivered 1974), and MR-20c class 2560-2579 (delivered 1976).
