Canadian Railroads > An NS SD90 leading in Montreal, againDate: 05/21/15 15:23 An NS SD90 leading in Montreal, again Author: Mberry As is often the case, CN 394 for Richmond, Qc and interchange with the SLR got CN 529's power today. Today that means that an ex-UP SD90 (NS 7312) was leading, with NS 1104 trailing. The sun angle and the track he was on was far from ideal, though KG's recent brush clearing here helped, but it's not every day you can shoot one of these in Canada!

Here's a close up, taken from the same spot.

Frank  Date: 05/22/15 15:36 Re: An NS SD90 leading in Montreal, again Author: rschonfelder Can I ask about the ex UP unit? Who bought them and are now running them? I know that Fortesque Metals Group here in Western Australia bought four (?) ex UP SD90's which were reconditioned in the Eastern USA somewhere. There was a few offered around the place.
What has become of HH's speech to the idea of rebuilding the CPR SD90ies. Any movement there? Rick Date: 05/22/15 16:36 Re: An NS SD90 leading in Montreal, again Author: NSDash9 UP traded-in 100 SD90's on its last order of SD70ACe's last year. NS purchased those units from EMD and EMD is slowly going over the units to make as-needed repairs, reinforcing the fuel tank mounting brackets, and deliverying them to NS. So far, 67 of the 100 have been delivered to NS:
