OK, does anyone know more about IC 2466? There is a "Heritage Units" update (May 14th) removing it since it is being "Scrapped!!!!" Does anyone know more? I have heard otherwise! H.U. updates page: https://heritageunits.com/home/updates

As of today, CN no longer has any active IC blue devils in active service...2466 has been spotted with an exhaust cap and is being moved to storage. Bet that'll make someone happy on here.

I already sent him the pic. Tick tick tick

OK, if someone is "Happy" about this would really disappoint!!!! MAN!!!! Is it IC "Blue Devil" C40-8W #2466 "Officially" retired now? Or can it be brought back to service? I knew these sad days would come!!!! Now I will wallow in sadness! Well, at least I have witnessed them running much over the years!!!! Hopefully this one can be saved as a museum piece!
