Comments on: Three of the CBNS ‘old guard’ in the deadline at Sydney’s main RR yard represents a dismal sight. The 3 former CN units, as well as any of the other old alcos that toiled on the CBNS, are all gone from the property now, these being sold to locomotive dealer Ed Bowers in 2003. Of the 3716, 2003 and 2016; the CTG lists 3716 as the only one not scrapped. But where is it?? http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

It needs new wheels and is to be moved to the rail museum at the former CN station in Orangedale N.S. 3716 was to be saved but the 3842 was in better condition and saved instead.

Managed to catch 2029 in Scranton a few days later. Wish I made the trip a few years earlier. Even the SD45-2s that replaced the MLWs have been scrapped.

I heard most of these unit had bad wheels and couldn't really be moved, so were scrapped. Sister units 2028 and 2029 were saved and brought to the states, but eventually they too were cut up.
