:Insert "Great Big Rolling Railroad" Here: A string of former Union Pacific C36-7I GE's sit offline at the Operail Maardu shops awaiting for either reactivation whenever traffic picks up again or a date with the blow torch 💥 Founding out by the end of November 2023 that Operail has sold 36 of its 58 - C36-7i's for scrap. Me, one other friend and my dad headed out for another adventure up to Estonia to document the last moments of the 36 - C36's before they get turned into razor blades. With the trip being a success I can finally show you the results of this awesome trip 😁 The former UP C36's, along with 19 former Conrail C30-7A'S were brought to Estonia by Rail World between 2001-2002 being rebuilt at a GE Plant in Mexico 🇲🇽 These engines were exported here for a few things: horsepower, reliability and to replace the aging Soviet 2M62 & M62's. 20 Years on they have started showing their age and some of them are finally meeting their end. Sad to see a majority of these beauties go. But one thing for sure. They deserve their retirement 😄 Maardu - Estonia 🇪🇪 - 12.27.23 #operail #trainspotting #lineside #photo #train #diesel #depot #estonia
