You would think it could have been saved for a museum but if it's worth more in scrap....
Thanks to Railpictures.net.

Ken's right, but it's still sad to see. Some of those are still running are they not? I know the Ottawa Central was running one fairly recently, along with a number of RS-18u's. Not sure if it's still in service though

Hey Cheez:
I understand that the CNR has bought out the OC and has scrapped or pulled all the Alco's from service and replaced them with standard CNR units.

I just googled it, and according to wikipedia you are correct That would explain why I haven't seen any of the Black and Yellow units for a while.

Welcome to the hard economy and poor folks scrappin' everything worth the cash. I will agree that would yeild a lot of cash and the bright side is, the next C-424 will be worth more!
