trainmaster_1 Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 CN 7263 up here from Memphis, TN. A friggin rust bucket ! Here's CN7241 - 241 at the Mac Yard diesel shop before the side-swipe accident (on the Halton Oubound) which put both units OOS for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CN7066 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Wonder what they'll replace them with...C44-9W's? They're getting pretty old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainmaster_1 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 CN just retired two C44-9's already, guess newer locomotives do go down the crapper when it gets derailed or fully abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallspy Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 CN just retired two C44-9's already, guess newer locomotives do go down the crapper when it gets derailed or fully abused. ...or when they get rolled down a hill because of poor trackwork/operations....

M. Parsons Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 5304 pretty freshly painted. And CNA 415605 with small website address near the reporting marks. Can't say I've personally seen many like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promagstyle Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go west a bit, I've seen them out here. 1650 was in Vancouver on a work train about 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
