Curious to know what became of the Talent trains. They were replaced by the Alstom trains and I know they were posted to MERX to find buyers and a new home. From what I understand no one expressed interest.

Are they still in Ottawa or at the Walkley Yards?

Not quite sure if anyone bought them in the MERX deal, but here they are in June 2018, still at the Walkley Yard.
