With the arrival of the ex Canadian Pacific C-424 in 1998 (numbers are:
4211, 4227, 4233) the RS-36's were retired, the C-420 are to rumble on.
Despite several inquiries about selling off the three retired RS-32 units,
the Apache Railroad decided to keep them as spare parts sources. Before
the CP units came on the property there were thoughts about going EMD
(GP40ish) but the ALCos are considered being good pullers and may have
still some years to come.
Usually one unit serves as a plant switcher at the paper mill which is a
couple of miles west of Snowflake. The three RS-32 are kept behind the
shops that are near the mill and still look quite good. Still on the
property is the hulk of RS-11.
