What happened to the GC U23B's?  Were any of them bought by other RR's?   What replaced them?

About half are out of service, likely pending scrapping. Rumor is, the last one shouldn't be retired until a couple months into 2015.

What replaced them?

A bunch of rebuilt early EMD GPs, from a variety of sources. All have 567s.
