    1. Daniel, Ontario Northland has 5 SD75I built in London Ontario in 1999. Originally six, lead unit in order, 2100 was scrapped due to wreck damage

  1. Glad that these 2 Ex NS SD70Ms will serve another railroad and judging by the spray painted PRLX lettering on the side they looked like they were originally headed for scrapping so glad they were saved for now anyway.
