CP 8781

Unread post by Blaze06 »

First Post on this new topic! This is just a description of what this is meant to be! It’s basically just a place where we can all discuss anything pertaining 8781 (aka my favorite locomotive of all time), CSX I166 and I165 (bc it totally doesn’t hang out on those two trains enough), and also location updates! Let’s have fun!

P.S. ORANGE 🟧

For those not aware of what CP 8781 is (as I wasn't until now), it appears to be some orange painted CP unit.

Yeah there’s another that came before it (8757) which honors the every child matters movement and it sports an excellent K5LA!

Are you using improper information from Heritage Units again? Thought you were done with that site...
CP 8781 is in Gómez Farías Mexico, not Texas.

I did NOT get that info from heritageunits. That was from a person in a discord server I'm apart of who thought it was being dropped before it got to the border, plans must've changed, I dunno.

Yeah I use HU too but I’m glad I got this info bc if it was still in Texas, then there must be some MAJOR crew issues lol

That person probably got the info from HU. So in a way you are still using HU. :lol:

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

4 days ago 8781 was leading 250 from Superior, WI to St Paul. He could either come back to Chicago or to Canada anytime we don’t know yet!
