Scrapped Locomotives -The END for these classics-

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.**

Such a crying shame watching these poor locomotives being scrapped made my heart sink 😢

Great video! It is very sad to see old SOO and Milwaukee road unit a all ripped up. As someone who likes SOO this really hurt, to bad they did not try to save one.

that's a pretty sad fate for these great engines but your images are pretty cool! Thanks to your drone doing this. ;)

The nose of 2010 was bought bye the president of npr he also saved 2 of the soo noses and 20+ doors off the side were saved, as well as some other parts. Lets just say 2010 isnt completely gone

At 4:00 Look what I got honey!!! .... We can put it right here in the living rooom!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Not good to see those 645 blocks being handled like that. With current regulations, it is physically impossible to ever build a new engine as efficient, reliable and responsive as the 645. All of that needs to be saved and rebuilt for continued decades of service, lest the railways be stuck with tier 4 junk.

Nice to know I can buy parts of them. Might make a nice wall decoration.

2:16 Is that an Amtrak Metro liner cab car on the left? What is it doing here?

[Xynoconine]

2010 is not completely gone some parts were saved

That was a really cool video and I liked the narration of it all. This might be an odd question, but do you know of any places on Facebook Marketplace that might sell more items like this? I don't get on Facebook much, but if you don't, maybe you would know what types of things that I should search for to be able to find sellers like that? Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to more content like this (first time watching one of your videos).

my reaction of the former soo line being scrapped

[davidharlow]

CP LOCO #7310 WAS A D&H AT ONE TIME BEFORE CP BOUGHT THE D&H

It feel's like EMD units are going more then GE units.

Nice video footage! What kind of drone do you use if you don’t mind me asking?

[TrainMedia]

This is so F---ked up dude, I really wish if Alaska Railroad or RRHMA will donate and restore to operate for reason use but I don't know because, their now history and expensive, I just don't know, can someone or something save these 😢

[Peter-mtlg]

You could buy the cab section for 10cents a pound, put in the back yard and make a fort.

[detroitdieselseries]

Weren’t some 645 engine parts were saved?

[Opinionatedguy]

They could have saved the trucks for rebuild.
