It's really great to hear about Eire Mining is going back to using their F units again! <br /> <br />As for other F units still operting, there are of course those that pull CP's Royal Canadian Pacific excursion train. Of course, these are for special trains and don't work regular CP trains, but they are still F units that are owned and operated by a Class 1. <br /> <br />AMT (Montreal's commuter rail system, where Kevin works) retired their FP7's in 2002, but #1300 got sent to Quebec City to do switching for their commuter system. It is interesting to note that this unit is ex-CP 6700, the lead unit on the train in the movie Silver Streak. I think that it is still working there. I'm not sure whether Quebec City actually bought it or just leased it from AMT.
