Three generations of power sit at Mac Yard on this hot summer evening, the SD60F's have long since been retired and now await the last trip to K&K Recycling in Pickering for scrap, the SD40-3's have been retrofitted with RCLS and now used in hump and pull down service and the SD75I still plying the mainline.

    Back in around 1984, running short of hump GP38-2′s, they tried 2 SD40′s for the hump with some success…except for being power short on the main.
