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...

Rail Grinder on the Newcastle Subdivision

Rail grinder RG309 has been working on the Newcastle Subdivision, aka the former NBEC territory. It left Campbellton Tuesday at 12:15 heading east, and made it to Jacquet River before reversing to park in the siding at Charlo at 21:00 for the night. Thanks to Nicolas Kiss for that sighting.

Michel Robichaud noticed the grinder in Bathurst at 15:40 this afternoon.

Thanks for the sightings!
