Re: CN Updates June 2021
Does anyone know how many "Active" ex CREX units are working on CN? Also, are there plans to re-paint them? Hopefully not since they are different! Well, these are killing all the "Dash 8" variant locos I believe!!!! Does anyone know how many Dash 8 locos are in service (if any)? Man I want some "Cowls" though!!!!LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 1:47 pmA491 w CN 8925/CN ex-CREX 3914. This is our first ex-CREX unit that we’ve seen in MI.

Re: CN Updates June 2021
352 is a running with a 10-40 order tonight, if anyone is looking for 60MPH, it ain’t happening. Probably due to storm damage.

Re: CN Updates June 2021
514 stopping at Johnson AVE, leader is CN 5428, looks like they’re waiting on Amtrak judging by the fact the ABS signal here at 22 (opdyke road) is approach and they’re on M1

Re: CN Updates June 2021
25 CREX units went to CN, some are active, but not all just yet. All will be repainted sooner or later as they are shopped for various work. As for the cowls, only 8 CN are still active and 4/5 BCOL units running at last count. They are indeed circling the drain.Robertrains wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 6:54 pmDoes anyone know how many "Active" ex CREX units are working on CN? Also, are there plans to re-paint them?

Most are grey but some are apparently painted in BNSF scheme (likely built for BNSF and then sold to CREX then leased back to BNSF)
