MLW's - Gone?

[CPSD40-2]

Back in 1997, I lived along the D & H main in Plattsburgh. Little did I know I was witnessing the last days of the MLWs that were still in active service. I heard that some of them were turned into road slugs, then I heard they all got scrapped, and that some were instoreage still serviceable.

Anyone know whats up with any of them?

I'm not the authority on the subject but I believe CPs last MLW was Control cab #1100, a C-424 (unpowered), retired in 2004. I dont believe it was sold so it might be in the 'historic collection'. Suggest checking in the "Canadian Trackside Guide" or www.mountainrailway.com/ . Actually, after checking the latter, there is a picture of 1100 taken in Ogden (Calgary), Feb. this year. I cant say enough about Mountainrailway.com its excellent! If it helps, CN still has M-636 #2338 somewhere around MacMillan yard (Toronto).

The Canadian Railway Museum at St-Constant, QC, has an incredible collection of MLW's, representing almost all models built. I can think of 4 CP units off the top of my head, two of which are operational (C424 4237 and M630 4563).
