Here is a update on the SD40s at Homewood. CN is not putting them up for sale. CN is beginning to scrap the SD40s.This includes WC 6001, the three DWP SD40s, and several GTW SD40s. As a result, DWP, a very historic railway, is now a thing of the past. There are no other engines in DWP paint in the country, and it is now extinct, never to run ever again. The SD45s are still up for sale, but if no one buys them, they will be scrapped.
Very sad from a railfans perspective (I imagine some in the running trades and the mechanics may not miss them). Funny how once these were the bane of railfans since they seemed to be everywhere, largely due to the success of the 40 series, and now we lament their passing. I always enjoyed seeing the GTW and DW&P SD40s up here for the splash of color they provided (and until the SD75I's and C44-9W's came around, we were drowning in a sea of GP40-2L(W)'s), sucks they're all gone now. The passage to time has a way of catching up with the invincable, even 30+ yeaar old workhorses
CN still applies the DWC reporting mark to both new, second-hand and referbished freight cars, but it ain't the same as the motors. I guess the WC and DMIR will be the next to loose their identity on the point... hard to believe CN is spending $$$ on full paintjobs for the SD40T-3's.
