OK, is
SOO GP38-2 #4413 still on
CP's roster? I looked at
"Heritage Units" and a report (by GreatWisconsinSpotte) from 5-8-22 says
: "SOO 4413 is being sold off to a new owner." It was in a consist of 5 units spotted in Wauwatosa, WI headed to Rochelle, IL! Now, the engine is not gone! It has been spotted September 24 (by PAUL M), Calgary, AB! It was
"just sitting in the yard." To me it looks like it wasn't sold off! Does anyone know more?
There are not many
SOO engines running on
CP now!
"Heritage Units" only lists five
GP38-2s still in
SOO colors!! They are
SOO 4402, 4410, 4412, 4413, 4448!!!!

SD80MAC, who bought
SOO 4413? Is it in British Columbia? I never saw reports of which RR bought it! Man, not many
SOO engines remain! This would give just four in
SOO colors left on
CP!!!! OK, there are two
SD60s for
CEFX in
SOO paint, 6007 and 6020!
CEFX 6020 is still stored at
LSRC Saginaw Yard! I have photographed that one on
LSRC with restored
SOO paint/lettering!
I just did a trip (July 6-10, 2022) to Illinois/Iowa with
"Mazon!!!!" I photographed
SOO 4448 Sitting in
CP Nahant Yard, Davenport, IA! I wish we would have seen them switching, but instead caught lots of other good stuff (trip report eventually)!!!!
Take a look at my (RLJ II) picture of SOO SD60 #6033, on a westbound CP train, switching cars at NS Oakwood Yard, Melvindale, MI, October 1, 2011 (Mamiya Medium Format film camera):

Odds are, they were sold to LTE or another scrapper. These units are well loved and I don't think anyone would want them. Also, don't get all of your information from heritageunits, the website has a lot of bogus info, and quite frankly, I don't trust any report on there, no matter how credible the person is.

True I have seen
"Bogus" reports from
"Heritage Units!" I use the site in hopes of finding unusual and old engines working; it has helped me many times!!!!
No one should be
"Bogus!!!!" Well, if
SOO 4413 was sold, that would leave only four
SOO painted engines (GP38-2) left on
CP (listed in first post above)!!!! There are many former
SOO engines still working at least! It will be sad when
SOO finally bites the dust! At least there are preserved engines!
