NBEC Power Update

NBEC 1867 in Miramichi, NB on September 14, 2004.

Canadian Railway Observations is reporting that ex-CFMG SD40 units 6902, 6903, and 6906-6910, as well as RS-18s ex-OCRR 1838, ex-NBEC 1857 and 1867 are all going to Alabama to be parted out and scrapped.

The last time I saw 1867 was on November 7, 2006 in Miramichi, in the middle of our War Bride train chase.

By the way, if you haven't read Canadian Railway Observations yet, you should really check it out.

More CFMG SD40s Leaving

CFMG 6906 leading train 402 out of Belledune, 2007/09/04

CFMG 6902, 6906, and 6908 are due to leave Campbellton tonight for good. They are going to the CN shops in Woodcrest, Illinois for disposal.

This follows the sighting of 6901 in Woodcrest a few days ago.

NBEC SD40 Update

It looks like there will only be one or two NBEC/CFMG SD40s running on the Quebec Railway System (QRS) today... CFMG 6908 and perhaps one more in Mont Joli. That was quick!

Here's CFMG 6908 in happier times, in Miramichi with 6910 and another SD40. They are about to turn on the wye after bringing train 402 in from Campbellton.
