Comments on: Pictured is CN 7150, an old GMD SW8 that used to work the Woodstock yard and area. This was the first of 34 SW8 switchers built, beginning in 1951. This may have been the first to be retired as well, being pulled from service in 1984. Some of these units were sold, most scrapped. Where 7150 ended up is unknown.

Relics of the past, Ian. Basic, plain and trusty. I miss them too.

I love the old end cab switchers!
