[net.railroad] CPR/VIA E8's

tech@auvax.UUCP (Richard Loken) (07/06/84)

According to the Canadian Railway Historical Association, VIA Rail Canada has
placed their two EMD E8's up for disposal.  These used to be CPR 1801 and 1802
and are the only two E8's in Canada - to my knowledge.  There are no plans to
preserve one of these locomotives because they are not "typical".  I however
think one should be kept because up here they are unique so are there any 
suggestions on how to prevent the demise of a locomotive??
