I just finished updating the SW1200RS and RS18u pages. http://dardpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Diesel
The 2014 Canadian Trackside Guide provided a lot of information. CP has retired all of the 1200 and 8100 series locomotives, along with the GP-9's with the acquisition of the GP20ECO units (built with parts from the retired GP-9's). All things considered, CP did pretty well with the SW's, getting over 50 years use out of them. A great return on investment!
A surprising number of DAR SW's are still working for new owners. I figure eight are still in use, and one is at Delson. One RS18u is still running as well.

Good Job Matt, nice to hear that some of those SW1200 are still in use today!
