New CN Engines
Ok, everyone has been going nuts about “new CREX engines” coming onto CN Property. I haven’t been able to find any proof of them existing and I just don’t think this is right with CN considering rebuilding the SD70 fleet. can someone like… show me proof of this? I wanna see one obviously but I can’t if I don’t have proof they exist yknow…

Re: New CN Engines
Makes perfect sense to me. A ton of nearly new engines that are just sitting around not making their owners any money. CN probably picked up those ES44ACs for a song. That will allow them to kill the rest of the Dash 8 Cowls, for sure.

Re: New CN Engines
Don't tell Robertrains. I don't think he will have enough color electrons to express his thoughts of the cowl units going away
Robertrains there is nothing wrong with your enthusiasm.
But I think SD80MAC is correct about the cowls going away.
So get those photos now
