Comments on: Two of the three ex. UP SW10′s that got repainted before CP pulled the plug on the project sun themselves outside the diesel shop at Alythe Yard.

Joseph – the TZPR switchers you are referring to are also ex. UP SW10s.

Nice catch Rob! For some reason these units remind me of the GW switchers that went through last year a couple of times on 331.

Just the three were painted CP, 1284 being the other. All of the SW10s, including those that never got any attention and were still in UP paint, were sold to NRE. Most have since received dark blue paint and are now part of the NRE lease fleet.

Oops!!! Should have asked if any of these rebuilds were still on CP. I don’t believe I ever have seen one. Rare birds. Like CN’s “Sweeps” were.
