Yes, it's in the shop already.

Also in are 3024 and 3111.

I think we should be in mourning. The oldest transportation company in North
America ( chartered in New York State in 1823) and all we have to show for it
are are 4 GP38-2's that were not even original D&H, and now they also are
reportedly all but gone. I know that many other fine roads (MILW, MNS, DSS&A
are all gone and even SOO is rapidly fading away) have also been lost. I only
wish the folks at CP could help preserve a bit of American history. The D&H
7303 and 7304 still look good in the lightning stripe scheme and the 7307
and the 7312 do also. The latter 2 are the only ones that were "named" the
7307 is named "Competition" and the 7312 is named for retired D&H / CP
employee Bernie O'Brien ( B.C. O'Brien) both are painted near the front steps
of the respetive locomotives. For those that don't know the CP steamer at
Steamtown (2317) here in Scranton was also recently named for Bernie. I
wonder if any other CP employee has 2 CP locomotives named for them. Sorry to
ramble on I only wish someone would see this that can save at least some of
the remaining Lightning Striped units.

My 2 cents worth.

Besides the 3 units already mentioned(4657, 3024, 3111) as being at Ogden,
is it yet known what other numbers will follow in the program to overhaul
'several' of the 4-axle units?
Particularly, are any of the D&H 7300s slated? (Some D&H-ers are already in
mourning in anticipation of losing more lightning stripe units!)

=============================================================

CP 3111 is enroute to Montreal on 482-24 Departure Thunder Bay, Ont. tonight
after an overhaul at Ogden.

Do we know what kind (if any) new paint scheme they applied on the unit ?
