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!
