The END of the line has arrived for a number of old Soo Line, Milwaukee Road, D&H, and CP locomotives. After having served the railroad for over 50 years, they have sadly, met the scrappers torch. With the aid of the drone, we'll get a unique, and up close view of whats left of these classic engines!
We'll see seven classic locomotives from CPKC's roster, and see how they look upon being scrapped at Saint Paul Yard. These locomotives were Soo 4601, Soo 4603, Soo 2010, CP 5878, CP 7312, CP 4617, and CP 4602. After much speculation, these engines were not saved, and scrapped on site. While a large portion of the locomotives were cut up, small pieces here and there were saved for use on other engines. While it was sad to see these classics cut up, it was nice to know *some* parts of them got saved in the end!
**All drone video was taken with prior authorization from the FAA, LAANC approval, and DJI GeoZones being unlocked** Permission was granted days in advance for this.**
