Canadian Railroads > Abandoned CN SW8 #7158Date: 04/07/20 07:08 Abandoned CN SW8 #7158 Author: BCR_766 Hello group, I have a question.... there was an ad placed for a Abandoned CN SW8 #7158 on the canadian classifieds Kijiji. I believe the unit was out of Pine Falls Manitoba and was offered for $25,000 by the former owner of Tembec pulp and paper.... does anyone know what became of this unit?? Thanks!
