Ah, the ex-NMBS HLD 212 #212.225/ HLD 62 #6325! She's looking a bit tired, if you ask me... T_T

Ours are still going strong - there's even talk that they might have another 20 or so years of service in them - they'll be seventy by then...!!

we got the DE 1002 also know as the 6400 as the main shunter locs but there are a lot of private companies that use other kind of loce for shunting.

Over here, it's the HLD 77 which is used as the main shunting type - [link] It replaced a whole host of shunting locs, although a small number of HLR 73s, 74s, 82s and 91s are still in service (usually locally on yards).

we have a lot of mordern day shunter, and when companys dont have shunt loc do they use a diesel loc on that line.
