Surviving Examples
Some 20 units of various designations exist today in a preserved state, all of which are owned by railway museums or historical societies. Several excursion railways own operating examples which are in regular service, including MLW units received from Via Rail Canada in use on the Grand Canyon Railway and Napa Valley Wine Train. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad in Peninsula, Ohio, owns four FPA-4s, of which three are in operation as of 2008. Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway No. 866 is undergoing restoration by a private owner in Portland, Oregon. The Monticello Railway Museum has restored CN 6789, an MLW FPA-4 into operating conditions, and uses it on museum trains. It has been repainted into the green/yellow scheme that CN used early on.

“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
