The one former IC "Blue Devil" that is in "CN" paint would be "IC 2458!!!!" DaveO, IC 2463 is "Blue!!!!" Also, could not tell anything from the "Webcam!!!!"
You seem to have answered your own question. There is no 2468 shown on the various rosters.
Yup, I guess I did!!!! I sure hope these "Cowls/Dash 8s" stay around longer! It's good to see them occasionally! Glad to find out IC 2458 was out working today!!!! Well, I saw a "Halloween Train!!!!" πŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸ΄β€β˜ πŸ‘Ή! It was an early train 485 , in Fraser, cleared Masonic Road, around 10:58 a.m. It had CN ES44AC 3849 and CN 3925 (ex-CREX) and 112 cars!!!!! Well, as we know, the second unit is part of the order to replace the "Cowls" and various "Dash 8s!!!!" :(
OK, E251 passed the "Trenton Webcam" with KCSM #4508 trailing third: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EazZSDvRgcs

About 1845 was a very short wb by 205 with 6 cn. Had some 2 bay covered hoppers so maybe 251? I was on the phone with my boss so I forgot to post.
L501. Had their normal two units plus the two from a terminated Z147 and two from the G806 that put its train away in Durand and then went light power to Flint.

Z149 was WB at 14:54 by the 205 cam. The first 40 cars or so were stacks from Z147 that they picked up in PH.

1. I was busy. It’s Halloween and I have kids.
2. I had to mow the lawn today.
3. Also went to Meijer.
4. I can’t wait to shave my face with a piece of a cowl unit. Can’t. Wait.
