    Very neat shot Bill, a place I suspect that is very rarely seen by railfans.

    For anyone interested, the lead unit #45 (former CN 2304) is currently still alive and well (at least for the time being) at Western New York and Pennsylvania running as WNY&P 636. Was still operational as of last year.

    They are almost all stored now Mark. As of early March only 638 was active per Railpace.

    637 and 638 actually ran OL-1 by themselves on March 20th

    Still a far cry from what once was… still almost all stored :)
