COOL LansingRailfan!!!! What are the CN engines used on W302? CN was doing "Testing" in 2018 and 2019 over a few months! They had sets with the ex WC/AC caboose, GTW 79197 caboose and a blue passenger car! Each set was bracketed with CN engines! How long do you expect in on the PTC area lines in MI? COOL!!!!
