The Railfans here in Michigan have been keeping tabs on this one. Begging that it doesn't get repainted to CN colors. It will someday, and I think most of the Midwest will be able to hear them all crying on that day!!! Ron Date: 11/20/17 18:12 Re: 1990's On CN's Ex DT&I Line Author: Fiftyfooter I am transported! Thanks!
