Nice to see them doing something for veterans. Those look like renderings/photoshop, so I guess we'll have to wait for the actual release of the units.

CN is going crazy in 2020.. you get a special paint unit, and you get a special paint unit! Glad to see it, what will be even more interesting is seeing the special paint and heritage units mix in with their decent sized amount of "original paint" units all over the system. More veterans tribute units is also always great!

Those photos are from Canadian National.

They appear to be rendered, however, CN has confirmed these. From what I've heard, they were being painted when the renders were released

I'm sure the renderings are accurate and actually I think real ones will look a whole lot better.

There are a handful in original WC paint. GP40: WC 3018; GP38-2: WC 2001, WC 2003, and WC 2004; SW1500: WC 1560 and WC 1565. The GP38-2s are pretty much confined to British Columbia which is why you don't see any pictures of them and the SW1500 are slowly being retired. Additionally, there are a couple other grey GTW SD40-3s. These are almost all RCO and confined to yards which is why you don't see many pictures of them.

So apparently all that are going to be done have been done.
GTW, IC, EJE, BCOL, WC. Also the CN and IC mother and slug sets.
I'm not including special units because they really aren't heritage units.

There are supposedly more heritage slug sets coming. Supposedly is the key word there as the initial rumors on the others were way off.

Nice list, thanks. I had no idea that CN still had that many blue GTW 5800s.
