  • All of the ICE 200 series SD40s are being retired and scrapped, including 221. As far as I know all but 3 have been sent to Chicago and torched. 221 was one of the remaining 3, but they could be gone by now too, I'm not really sure. A lot can happen in 2 months, i guess...

  • With only one unit pulling, I'd think those cars wer all empties

  • @pdlip1 Lots of medium grades where as between Fruitland up to this location and north is all river (fairly flat) grade.

  • The head light in the nose was a MARS light back in the CGW days.

    As for CP buying them. It's good for the railroaders as it's back to being a Class 1. I used to work back at the start of the IMRL days between KC - Davenport and then cut back to Ottumwa as the traffic started to grow. We could not make the trip all the way to Davenport. I ran this area a few times when they needed engineers in Davenports. The are was easy running compared to between KC and Fruitland.

  • R. i. P. 221 Thanks for the memories ! :-)

  • In your funeral vid, ICE 221 is the final engine, longhood forward.

    Shame really, she still sounded beautiful in this video.

  • It's too bad that 221 wasn't preserved. Being a rare ex-Chicago Great Western unit. CGW had some of the first examples of SD40's.

  • i just found out 2 day from my dad that ice and dme got bought out by cp witch sucks cuz ice runs behind my house but it will b cool 2 c some new engines

  • As I CGW fan, I am sad to read the SD-40's may be no more. I have meant to seek them out, and now it is apparently too late.
