Some standard cab locomotives have been returned to mainline service by Canadian National after being sidelined or assigned to captive service since early 2021, Trains magazine reported this week on its website.
Some other units, including idled wide cab units, also have returned to service or are being prepared for a return as part of the railroad’s fall and winter surge fleet.
Most of the 134 GE C-40-8 units CN acquired between 2010 and 2012 have been parked or retired since 2020.
The Dash 8s are not expected to be mainstays on CN for long. The Trains report can be read at https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/news-photos-canadian-national-returns-dash-8-locomotives-to-service/
