Midland I saw a pic of 3307 and was wondering the same thing, seems odd tohave it running around on OHCR without lettering & Logos unless they really need it inservice but still seems odd.........

[quote="midland sub"]It's possible they might. Last year they ran just the two, the normal CNRY dinner train with quite a few extra private cars added on. The second train had the former Montreal commuter cars plus the NP dome car and the Chapel Hill. That still leaves them with the normal LM&M cars...

[quote="midland sub"]Weren't all of those GP38s former hi-nose NS locos that came from LLPX? Who chopped the noses and painted them in the Railtex red/grey?
