I was down at Pigseye for lunch today when the MNNR rolled by with light power. I thought that was a bit odd but snapped off a few shots. After I finished eating I drove back down by the CP office and there I found the scrap yard train that has been sitting up at MNNR for the last month or so. Apparently CP will be taking it to its final destination. I wish I had been 10 minutes earlier and I could have caught the two engins on this train.
Any one know when these will be rolling out of here? Willard maybe??

I thought I heard that they may be moving toward NREX-via the ICE perhaps?

From the info I could find the units are heading for NRE in Silvis. Units 1B, 66 and 1608 sounds as if they are going to be scraped, it was unclear if the 311 and 1108 be scrapped aswell. X did you see and IMRL gons with them? If so those had the trucks in them and should be going with the units.
