IC GP40 3134 was destroyed in a wreck at Guymon, OK in June. I think it was in lease service, I really couldn't tell.

Well that stinks looks like it is bound to the scrapper

On the subject of locomotives heading to the scrapper, it looks like the 6129, an SD40-2, is also headed that route. I shot this locomotive at its prime, pulling grain trains, back in November and just 5 months later, it met its doom. It must have suffered engine failure or something, cuz as JG said, poor maintenance has taken its toll. IC 6129 nee BN 6738 3/76-3/05 (only 29!)

*Correction: It turns out the 6129 is NOT being scrapped nor retired, it was in Centralia being overhauled (possibly being rebuilt to SD40-3 specs maybe?), although she has lost her "Deathstar" paint scheme and repainted into the current CN paint scheme, which explains it missing numerous parts and sitting on freight car trucks.

Wow. That photo is sad. That used to be a sharp looking Illinois Central. Now it looks like a destroyed piece of metal.
