Sadly what makes them so unique is what makes them hard to sell. Shortlines with alot of switching generally don't want cowl units with desktop controls. Hopefully CN will find it in their heart to prerve one of the remaining units before they're all gone.

Excellent shot, Todd. I love that the GTW 5827 is lurking in the background! As for CN having a "heart"...CN let their first SD40 #5000 go to scrap after a group tried to save it. CN has no heart at present time!
