26 went to Orford Express, a tourist operation. It was up for sale a few years ago on Ozark Mountain Railcar but I'm not sure what came of it

The M420TRs are very rare (15 built, all for FCP), but surprisingly there is technically a rarer variant, the earlier version of the M420TR. MLW built 2 of them for the Roberval and Saguenay Railway in Quebec. They were visually distinct with a dip in the hood like the EMD switchers had

The story I've heard is that it was originally Seabord 6750, which the WC bought after it had been wrecked, then put back together with parts from the original unit, parts from WC 3015 which had also been wrecked, and a BN cab they presumably bought from VMV

How about Wisconsin Central 3018?

They were powered with 12-244 engines removed from FPA-2s that were re-engined with 251s
