CN is having another of its 'special locomotive sales events'. It starts Sept. 22 and ends Oct. 10 2006. There are 25 former Wisconsin Central SD 45s in this sale and no other locomotives offered. If you read the fine print, a winning bidder has to return the combos from the units. If thats considered winning... http://www.cn.ca/about/surplus_assets/s ... ives.shtml

Actually after re-reading the PDF bid form, perhaps only 10 of the units must have their combos returned to CN. The others are for sale as is, where is. My bad, sorry.

7512 is one of the ones for sale, I saw it when it was still running, and it still had its early style WC paintjob, with the "V" pinstripes down the nose.

7514 is already retired? Last saw it August 15th!
