    Bittersweet video. I do remember dumping ballast and other such MoW assignments with these units when they were in our area of Milwaukee and Sturtevant Wisconsin. Also remember them working on locals in the area. Hate to see these units go as more and more of the GE garbage shows up. Have a great rest of your Monday.(Steve)

    Most of these locomotives are so old that it was worth more as salvageable parts and scrap metal than to rebuild and return them to service, especially now with EPA Tier level emission requirements for older locomotives. That's why many of the wide-cab locomotives built in the 1980's to early 1990's from EMD and GE are now sitting in dead yards instead of mainline service, all replaced by Progress Rail/EMD SD70ACe/SD70ACe-T4 and GE/Wabtec ES44DC/ES44AC locomotives.

      You can not save every engine just because it’s old and has a good history. With the latest emission controls and much better fuel consumption most newer engines even though more expensive to buy are cheeper to run than to rebuild old units. Just look at the latest rules California wants to implement. If that is done and other states follow we will see even some newer model engines hit the scrap yard. Don’t blame the new Canadian Pacific Kanas City railroad for ignoring preservation. They just rebuilt and ran one of their old steam engines as well as some older diesel covered wagons to celebrate the new merger.

      @@johnchambers8528 the regulations are b.s. And rebuilds are very much a thing. We never need to build another GEVO if we just keep improving existing units. Can't tell me a few particles of emissions negate the energy/pollution costs of scrapping and recycling all that material. It isn't possible.

    I love trains as much as the next railfan, but I don't get all the hand wringing and somber mourning here. These are just common locomotives. Not super rare historical heritage items. Rail companies can't waste money on machines that don't make money for them. It's not a tragedy. It's simple corporate capitalism. The weak and feeble get scrapped, and the CEO's get richer. that's how business works.
