A friggin rust bucket !

Not nearly as much rust as the 7243, the cab on the 7243 is completely rusted out, during the day, if you look above the electrical cabinet you can see daylight. 7243 actually lost a cab door because the hinges were rusted right through. I heard the 7263 is up here to replace the 7205 that went to Homewood to be scrapped due to a warped frame.

A rust contest? I nominate 9567 and 9590, they both have nice rusty hoods the last time I saw them. But there's far worse units I haven't noted.

Beats me why CN is retiring perfectly good GMD1's and GP9's when their 40-2's are going to sh*t...oh wait, they're retiring them too :P

Wonder what they'll replace them with...C44-9W's? They're getting pretty old :P

Poor Geeps getting used and abused like that, does CN currently have any EMD SW1200RS in the active fleet or have they all be retired or leased to other companies.

I believe CN still has the 7300, 7303-06, 7309, 7311 and 7313(?). 7303-06 and 7311 are currently being used in Vancouver. 7306 and 7311 are at Thornton yard, with the other 3 at Lynn Creek in North Vancouver.

I know there was one in Montreal recently, forgot the number...one was at Mac too with ol' 2338: 7316.

5304 pretty freshly painted.

Very nice. I spotted her back in June still in the stripes.

Funny, 5289, another recent repaint, has been retired :D
