@Gene: Nice CN and CV locos indeed! Why CV is so addictive? 
It's been a while since I visited the shops in MTL, I'm always on crazy schedule when I go there.
@jwb, you're right and wrong at the same time. According to the trucks, yes, but it is a S2. For my modelling purpose, getting a S4 would be the best choice and that makes your point right. I could also swap trucks from a S2 if they are still compatible with Atlas new tooling.
It started as CP 7098 back in August 1949. Serial Number 76491.
Sold to Merrilees, a rail supplier and locomotive reseller based in Ontario and Quebec.
According to CPR Diesel Locomotive roster website:
Here's a picture of this switcher as delivered. Another good reason to model it!

Why trucks were replaced by Merrilees, no idea.
