Re: CN Updates March 2020
From the Amtrak Website, it looks like only one roundtrip between Pontiac/Detroit/Chicago now: Trains 351 and 352.

Re: CN Updates March 2020─GECX 2029!!!!

The 12 GECX ET44AC's are now being repainted by Quality Rail Service in Madison, Illinois. They will be CN 3121-3132.
Some have already been repainted. I saw a photo of CN 3130 on a coal train in Alberta this week.
OK, I think the whole time was "GECX 2029!!!!" There is no "GECX 2909" in this model! Alright, now GTW 6401 answered the question about "CN" owning "GECX 2029!!!!"

I photographed southbound train 383(?) that cleared Masonic Road, Fraser, 1:49 p.m. It had 118 cars (including lots of loaded "Scrap Gondolas") led by CN ET44AC #3202 and "Blue" ET44AC #2909!!!! Now, did CN purchase these GE "Demonstrator" units? If so, I couldn't see any "CN" markings!!!!!!!! On "The Diesel Shop" website it says CN number "3121" is "Ex-GE Demonstrators GECX 2029!!!!" I just saw number "2029!!!!" That "Contradicts" what the site shows!!!! It also shows CN "3122-3132" are "Ex-GE Demonstrators GECX 2033-2043!!!!" I have not seen any of these since they were "Supposedly" bought by CN (until today...3-22)!!!!

Hey Guys,
Northbound 251 by Linden at 3:43pm with CN 5761, 2 other CN units, 32 cars. Mostly autoracks. Understandably shorter than normal.
Man that new Hotbox detector at 56.2 is about a mile away from the house as the crow flies and comes in GREAT on the scanner!
