Could that be more cowls heading to scrap? They’ve had a couple of 6 unit trains recently and they’ve been 2-3 working units and then dead cowls headed to Ontario to scrap em.

Wow, looks like CN is reviving an old train number (275).

I remember back in the 90s and early 2000s, there used to be 271, 273, 275, 277, and 281 to name a few and they were all auto/autorack trains. Ah, memories....

POOP!!!! The end is coming much too quick! Looks like I won't be able to see another "Cowl" working on CN!!!! They will probably be all gone even before I can catch "Dead Cowls!!!!" Now, could we get some more "Updates" on when some "Dead Cowls" are on the way east? It would be nice to know ahead of time! I could make it to Pt. Huron to catch their last trip! I would like a "Heads Up" from the Lansing area!!!!

Your best bet would be to watch the groups that watch Kirk Yard. That’s where they are stored and capped. I only see them when they go by.
