00:25 - WB M397 with CN 8900/UP 8985/CN 2468 by the 205 cam

Excuse me, what is CN 2468? The "Cowls" don't have a number that high! The IC C40-8Ws only go up to #2466!!!! Was this an actual "COWL" that was seen?

IIRC 2468 is actually an Ex IC Blue Devil but just in CN Paint, I could be wrong so don’t quote me on it

Good chance it was really IC 2463.
You can rewind the railcam for 12 hours and could of looked for yourself.
Too late now.

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.

I'm not sure how many IC dash 8s are left. I know a few went to a scrapper in Ontario.

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!!!!" ‍☠! 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

Most of those dash 8s are going are to the scrap yard and you guys wont to worry about it.

X382 just marked up to go east from Sarnia. The dispatcher mentioned that there's a 397 somewhere east of Sarnia that's either in their way, or that they'll meet along the way.

CN 3880 is leading another westbound that's waiting to go west from Port Huron. I don't have a symbol for 3880's train- it came out of the tunnel right after I turned my scanner on, but it does have a block of loaded frame flats on the end of the train- one of the longest cuts of frame flats I've seen in a while.

I’m gonna bet it’s A491
