Can you tell me if the # 4710 is gone? Last time I saw her she was dead on a siding in Elmdale, Michigan in the mid 90's.... I said my last goodbyes and took photos of her on that fateful day, any chance she is still around? What a pleasure to catch those units here in Michigan, thank you Canada!
OK right,also Minnisota central has one but is Caterpillar powered which brings the total to 4 perhaps,4711 & 4743 are still running & 4723 is preserved somewhere in Quebec,but i dont know the 4th one if there is a 4th one as i cant find mention of one at the Canadian museum other than what you have listed.
I rode behind the 4237 shown behind the 4563 here,i was lucky to get a ride on January 13 1996 out of ignace to kenora on a train...the last thing i expected was to get to the station to find 3 C424's & a GP38-2 pulling an empty grain train west to winnipeg,so i rode in 4207 behind the 4237,the best photo i have ever taken in my life is of the 4237 puring away in Kenora,just when i thought they were gone,there they were,what a ride it was,i am glad to see the 4237 intact like an old friend.
Do they not have a couple of 4700's preserved as well? I am sure the M640 4744 must be still be intact,the unique beastly thing that it was! And they must have one M636 as i believe out of the last 6 running in Aug. of 1995 2 were preserved & one is still running on a short line,in Kenora we were givin the 4718 but it was too big for the preservation display track as we already had a caboose on it so it was traded for a fire damaged SW1200RS instead & they scrapped the 4718! Damb!
Well, I beleive there is a M636, along with the M630 and the C424, and I know for sure that the 4744 is at the museum. One M636 is on display somewhere else in Quebec, another is on the Delaware Lakawanna.
I hope they put those babies bakc in use, i know of one unit i saw a video of on here of an MLW unit in early 2008 at Mac Tier in toronto, but dont know otherwise.
yeah, the second will be put into running order soon, and the M-630 is started at the museum every once and a while. Last late summer, it was in excursions in New Brunswick.

Exporail has CP MLW M640m #4744.
MNNR MLW M636 #71, (ex. CP 4711). Still in operation as of June 29th, 2007.
