CN Train Updates 7/7/13 - 7/13/13

[Robertrains]

I am glad to see a GP9R and haven't seen one since 9-16-2012 in Mt. Clemens! Does anyone know how many of the 36 remain?

Not sure how many are left, but we see some GTW 4600 series quite regularly in the Battle Creek yard, still shoving some pretty big cuts of cars! IIRC these are about 60 years old, right?

GTWCHRIS answered this! Ten remain! Hey, that's better than I thought!!!!
GTW high hood GP9s are my favorite—a few rebuilds are still around!!!!

DIESELSHOP.US list less of them! They show seven: http://dieselshop.us/CN.HTML
They are all originally from the 1950s!!!! They range 1956-1958! Here's a complete list of their origin and what the rebuild numbers they became: http://www.thedieselshop.us/GTW.HTML
