There’s also the substitute locomotives here:

  • PNWR RP-E4D #101 and GP40P-2 #3001 were scrapped at Rick Franklin Corporation (Lebanon, Oregon) on September 15, 2023
  • WCOR SD40-3 #3346 has been scrapped in February 2024

  • RCPE SD40-2 locomotives #3431, #3455, and #3466 have been scrapped in 2024

The good question I have is. What happened to the rest of the locomotives involved in this event that have unknown whereabouts (e.g: BPRR 458, KYLE #3203 and KYLE #3207)

If there’s anything I’ve missed or any updates that have happened in regards to G&W’s EPA scandal, let me know in the replies.
