Seeing that CN has recently begun the process. GTW is already complete and running; IC and BCR are in the paint shop. A better shot of the GTW unit is shown here:

Ya, this is cool stuff. I need to keep my camera in the truck, and get over to the Leithton Sub to see if anything mosey's on down the line over the next few weeks!![]()

Here at home, in the railroad mayhem capital of the world.
Maybe this will persuade TrainSimulations to finally produce some GE Tier 4 locomotives . . .
Word is when it's all said and done CN will do 18 units, both GE and EMD's
The list I saw on Facebook so take it for what it's worth
Algoma Central
BC Rail (Red/White/Blue)
BC Rail (Two Tone Green)
Bessemer & Lake Erie (early Orange/Black)
CN Zebra Stripes
CN North America Map
CN original
Central Vermont (Black/Red)
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton
Duluth, Missabi & Iron Range
Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific (Deliver With Pride)
Elgin, Joliet & Eastern
Illinois Central Gulf (Orange/Charcol Grey)
Green Bay and Western (Early Red/White)
Gulf, Mobile & Ohio (red/white redbird scheme)
Grand Trunk Western
Illinois Central
Wisconsin Central
There was never a CV Zebra Stripe unit in real life, a better choice would be a Larson Green unit.
Paul :-)
I think the CV scheme they’re proposing is the basic black/CN red ends and the white CV noodle. I completely agree that the green would be a much better choice.

Fess up Geoff, neither one of us knows what they are talking about, neither has first hand knowledge of the actual facts...just all supposition from both of us.Neither are privy to the contract or any non disclosure agreements ( if any exist )...so we're both just babbling to hear ourselves.
...of course you will take the devils advocate course and rebut even that statement!

It's my railroad and I'll do what I want! Historically accurate attitude of US Railroad Barons.
Forever, ridin' drag in railroad knowledge.
