Update: Feb 15,  2014

We just completed a huge 30 minute long HD video of the OPR's GMD-1 operating in the snow last weekend.  Lots of cab ride
and exterior shots.   The video can be seen directly here on Youtube.

OPR 501 is Sold to Former Leaser, CLD Pacific Grain Terminal, OPR 500 to be Scrapped.
Update: Feb 23,  2014

For a number of years, the OPR has leased a locomotive to CLD Pacific Grain Terminal in Portland, Oregon.   CLD recently
exercised an option to buy the OPR 501 outright, which had been leased to CLD since 1999.  The OPR no longer owns or
maintains this locomotive and its now struck from the OPR roster.   The No. 501 is a 1950s GE 80 tonner.
The OPR No. 500, which is still on OPR property and had served as a parts locomotive for 501 has been heavily cannibalized
by scrap thieves and will likely be entirely scrapped out in the near future.
