Caption: It has been nearly 13 years since I posted a shot of this trio dead at Sydney, Nova Scotia; with the 3716 in the lead. I guess it is high time I posted from the OTHER end. :o) Here are CBNS 2016, 2003 and 3716 dormant in the afternoon sun, their lives on the CBNS over.
All units were sold in 2003, the pair of C-630M units were scrapped.

I seem to recall Alco aficionado Ed Bowers (associated with Vintage Locomotive and Indiana Boxcar) looked at a few to acquire, but the wheels were pooched on most making interchanging them prohibitive. IBCX did get 2028 and 2029, but they were eventually scrapped for parts.
What beasts. Old paint shining through too.
