NBEC 4235

Ken Goslett sent along several great photos of NBEC 4235 dead in tow on CN 309 passing through Montreal Sunday morning. CN 2562 and IC 2461 provided the power.


"EFT" is written on the fuel tank. I assume that means "Empty Fuel Tank".


Great shots, Ken! Thanks for passing them along.

The Exodus Continues

NBEC 1868 on the Nepisiguit Subdivision, September 13, 2007.

Nicolas Kiss reports that CFMG 6910, NBEC 4235 and NBEC 1868 all left Campbellton this morning on CN 562. The first two are bound for the CN/IC shops in Woodcrest, Illinois and RS-18 1868 was purchased by the Chemin de fer de Charlevoix near Quebec City.

All the former NBEC/CFMG SD40s have now left. I don't think there are any C424s left other than the well-stripped hulks in Miramichi. There might be one or two RS-18s still around...

RS18s

NBEC 1857 in Miramichi, February 9, 2005

NBEC 1857 is in the ERS shops getting ready to depart for "a better life" elsewhere.

NBEC 1849 is in Sept Isles, but is due to be retired when it returns. There are some buyers interested in the RS18s.

There are a few other RS18s around Campbellton that need work before they can leave, along with C424 NBEC 4235.

There might have been a plow extra yesterday east of Chandler to deal with the big snow drifts. The Chaleur didn`t make it to Gaspe on Friday.

CP 4235 Eight Years Ago

Brian Barchard shared a photo he took of CP 4235 leading Canadian Atlantic Railway (CAR) Extra train 4235 North, with 4214 trailing, at Stone Ridge, NB on January 14, 1989. Here we are 8 years later and no tracks there, but probably more snow!



4235 was acquired by the NBEC for parts, and as I recently mentioned 4214 is in Ontario on the Ottawa Central.

Thanks for sharing, Brian!
