Re: CN Updates June 2021
E251 out of Flat Rock has EJE 659 solo today to Pontiac. Will most likely have additional CN units put in front before it continues north.

Re: CN Updates June 2021
Well, looks like the CN/BCOL C40-8M "Cowls" are all in storage now!!!! Does anyone here know which (if any) are still in "Active" service? Man, they were used more during the cold months and heavy traffic! Could some be brought back to service if needed? This seems to have happened before!!!! Though, it looks like CN will be picking up 75 ex CREX ES44AC units to replace the "Dash 8" locos! Are any C40-8/C40-8W locos out running also? Man, I want to get a CN "Zebra Cowl!!!!"

Re: CN Updates June 2021
OK, "Heritage Units" show two BCOL "COWLS" that were sighted June 12 and June 13! Maybe they are not quite done yet after all!
