Growing up in Calgary, CP rules, then and now. Unfortunately, living now in Ontario, I see one rarely. I have seen one or two in the past year rumbling up to Montreal, perhaps on their way to the U.S. The AC4400's and ES44AC's just don't have the same feel to them as they power by. Hopefully geeps aren't next on the proverbial chopping block.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532483036474931086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723635728039107400.post-4078025310539232732017-10-28T20:56:52.910-07:002017-10-28T20:56:52.910-07:00I saw CP 5973 and CP 5875 in yard service in Golde...I saw CP 5973 and CP 5875 in yard service in Golden, BC last month, sporting the small multimarks... so they are still kicking around.<br /><br />We're fortunate in Winnipeg to still have 6010 and 6016 operating, albeit in hump yard service in Symington. Last year I saw 6005, 6007, 6012 and 6015 in hump service but I haven't seen them lately.<br /><br />I agree that the SD40-2s are a dying breed. I wonder if we will be mourning the loss of Dash-9s and SD70/SD75 locomotives next.Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.com
