    It looks like most of these units were resold to Southern Railway of BC (SRY) as their 1200′s: https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Canadian_National_Railway_1101-1182

    The 1069 (1169) was a regular in Redwater in the mid 80′s, the 1070 (1179) made a number of trips one summer and never returned. Less than 20 years later it’s the dead line. When you see SD40′s and the like now being used to spot the super elevators, (and other industrial situations), little 1200hp switchers are not the first choice anymore. :-(
