@CNSD60F…yelling won’t make any difference. Traffic is not picking up and I am told don’t expect any improvement for at least a year.
Joseph is correct, with new power coming and all those rebuilt hand me downs on the roster, older units may be retired.

I wouldn’t hold your breath…lots of new GEVOs to come for CN. and with the new EMD Tier 4′s coming soon I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot more units go into storage and never return..

@Docta..523/524 are run on an as needed basic and their operation depends on traffic. 524 normally operates from Pt.Rob to Aldershot and back, but if traffic warrants 524 will operate to Mac Yrd and terminate there. 523 operates from Mac Yrd to Aldershot and sometimes Hamilton and back to Mac Yrd

Lol..well I don’t tend to keep track of what engines I run or I see. Honestly can’t tell you if in storage or not.

Ah thats good, but I am asking as of the present are they in storage? And have you seen one this year?

Oh ok was not sure what your meant. I think those units are still active on the roster. I have seen them around now and then

No I mean you know the SD50AFs not SD50Fs. I mean the 5500 – 5503 series not the 5400 series, And I was not clear enough so my apologies but what engines were on 523?
