Comments on: Heritage units? While everyone freaks out about CN’s America 250 heritage units the real heritage is at mac yard, toiling away, and you have to be lucky to find it working let alone this far south. CN 7311 is the last CN SW1200 officially on the CN active roster, but there are others: RT110/1394 in yellow at Mac Yard, 7304 in Hamilton, and fairly recently in 2020 one or two at the Hallet Dock company in Duluth as CN bought this dock and assigned DMIR 1250 (ex CP) and 1251 to the dock. 1250 to replace a green NW-2 that’s been a fixture at that dock for many decades. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I don't think i would have ever heard about these if it wasn't for your picture's description. :) I was hoping to see some new SW1200s in CN colors, but this is still very nice to see, despite the fact that they will never leave property.

But they are assigned to a subsidiary and may not be on the official roster. The official roster which I have reviewed only shows 7311 last I checked. There's a number of locomotives not on the roster but still on the property - such as Dash 8's, GMD-1's and stuff like this.

I also didn't know there were ex-CP DMIR locomotives, are there pictures of them somewhere? I tried searching on Google but to no avail.
