HATX SD45-2 units Headed to Scrap!
Posted by Boomer Red on Saturday, October 25, 2008 6:39 PM

The four HATX SD45-2 units that had been operating on the Cape Breton & Central Nova Scotia Railway were recently retired and are being sent to Tri-Province Recycling in Moncton NB for scrap! They've been replaced by HATX SD40-2s that are much easier on fuel and cost less to operate. I managed to catch some some pics of all four units in the CN yard at Moncton.

Have any SD45-2s been preserved?
