A482 is right behind the 251. Not sure if they’re gonna run them right past 251 or if they’re just gonna follow each other.

Well LansingRailFan, was this one of those C40-8 "Variants?" "Cowl?" Or just a C44-9W? It would be nice to know the full number or model type!!!! :?:

WOW!!!! It should not be listed as "CN" since it was built in 2004 for the "IC" subsidiary!!!! I guess it looks like a plain Dash 9! Thanx for clearing the 💩 💩 "Crap!!!!" 💩 💩
