The end of the line is rapidly coming for a number of of old Soo Line, Milwaukee Road, CP, and for D&H locomotives. After having served the railroad for over 50 years, their next stop, is a meeting with a scrappers torch.
We'll get a close up view of seven classic locomotives from CPKC's roster. They're from the Lehigh Valley, Soo Line, CP, Milwaukee Road, and Delaware and Hudson. Most of these engines are well over 45 years old, and while its sad to see, they have all had a LONG service life.

The GP38’s are what I believe underrated when it comes to Preservation. We’ve become so familiar with their look and corporate colors that we don’t take notice until they’re all gone. Unless they have a rich history or age behind them.

Bittersweet video. I do remember dumping ballast and other such MoW assignments with these units when they were in our area of Milwaukee and Sturtevant Wisconsin. Also remember them working on locals in the area. Hate to see these units go as more and more of the GE garbage shows up. Have a great rest of your Monday.(Steve)

Bittersweet is spot on, and for me, especially with the Soo units. I get that the power is literally worn out, but it would have been cool if the 2010, 4601, or 4603 were saved. Thanks of the kind comment, memory, and watching.

They are getting costlier to maintain. Low HP compared to the new ones. Won't pass emissions and some states won't allow them to operated within the state. This is the fate of 99.9% of locomotives. I'm not sentimental about it, I work on locomotives 5 days a week.

@johnchambers8528 2 дня назад

You can not save every engine just because it’s old and has a good history. With the latest emission controls and much better fuel consumption most newer engines even though more expensive to buy are cheeper to run than to rebuild old units. Just look at the latest rules California wants to implement. If that is done and other states follow we will see even some newer model engines hit the scrap yard. Don’t blame the new Canadian Pacific Kanas City railroad for ignoring preservation. They just rebuilt and ran one of their old steam engines as well as some older diesel covered wagons to celebrate the new merger.

@wesw9586 2 дня назад

@@johnchambers8528 the regulations are b.s. And rebuilds are very much a thing. We never need to build another GEVO if we just keep improving existing units. Can't tell me a few particles of emissions negate the energy/pollution costs of scrapping and recycling all that material. It isn't possible.

@Sacto1654 4 дня назад

Most of these locomotives are so old that it was worth more as salvageable parts and scrap metal than to rebuild and return them to service, especially now with EPA Tier level emission requirements for older locomotives. That's why many of the wide-cab locomotives built in the 1980's to early 1990's from EMD and GE are now sitting in dead yards instead of mainline service, all replaced by Progress Rail/EMD SD70ACe/SD70ACe-T4 and GE/Wabtec ES44DC/ES44AC locomotives.
