Former Grand Trunk New England Lines GP9s, awaiting scrap on the St. Lawrence & Atlantic (the present operator of the Montreal-Portland line they were built for). Built in 1956, they replaced steam on this CN subsidiary, and were lettered CV in the 1980s, after rebuildings in St. Albans. I think the third unit in the line is former Grand Trunk Western 4441, which is even older, built in 1954. http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... ate%3A5One already stripped for scrapping:http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo=2005092914281122807.jpg&bydate%3A6

It should be noted that 58 is ex-VTR 751, CR/PC 7301, nee- Cleveland Union Terminal 5901 (via http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LocoNotes). Reportedly (also from loconotes) the frames will be used in the construction of Green Goat locomotives.Tom Cornillie
