CN reactivates two IC Blue Devils

Unread post by David Collins »

CN has reportedly brought two IC Blue Devil units (2456 and 2466) out of storage and back into mainline service, We saw 2466 (which was online) go through the state a few days ago on an intermodal train, but 2456 was spotted 5 hours ago in Centralia, Illinois bound for Kirk Yard in gary and is also online.

Looks like CN has reactivated some Dash 8's for surge fleet service.

"Ex-Chicago North Western C40-8 No. 2131 led Chicago-Toronto train 148 on Sunday, June 5, providing the first look at a standard-cab Dash 8 on the mainline in well over a year."

Also reactivated are BC Rail 4609 and Illinois Central 2466 (as previously posted).
