CN SD50F's

Unread post by Railnut »

Reports are saying that CN 's SD50F's are hitting the storage lines. SD50F's have been retired, as of recent, if they have a significant maintenance issue..now they are all being placed in storage when convenient.
Just a heads up!

Within the past week CN started placing 5400 series SD50F`s into
storage at Woodcrest. So far the line has around a half dozen or so
units and growing. The 5400`s are already on the hit list for
retirement when one suffers a major failure. Current economic
conditions may lead to these being retired before their time.

Aww! Those were cool units. What about CP's and their SD40-2Fs?

Most of the CP SD40-2F's are still running around I think.

I think so, too. I saw one leading Q151 two months ago.
