Ya those engines do look sad and would anybody now if CN retired all the SD45's because they didnt want them anymore or did just suddenly something major go on those locomotives?

Well, they are heavy, air polutenting, bad locomotives. Hell, they propable only have 45 horsepower. ;)

They retired them mostly because of the horrible fuel mileage and the sd-45 wasnt known for its reliability.

WC had the best 45s around, the 7XXXs were rebuilt with Q tron or EM2000 and were some of the best pullers around. A key reason CN got rid of them was because they had 20 cyclinders.
