Nice!

I'm sure I speak for everyone. I would love to see a picture of a "warbonnet" with CN lettering and road numbers. Strange to see CN hovering just above the BNSF wedge. Thanks for sharing.

CNSF ... The next mega merger ?
|
Are they likely to paint these into CN at Centralia, IL? Since that is what they did for the ex-UP/CNW Dash 8s.
|
Do you know what its BNSF number used to be?
|
That bad hack-paint job makes me laugh. Nice catch.

Wow, interesting shot. That had the heart racing for a second till I read the remarks.

I believe this use to be BNSF 882.
|
As Lewis stated earlier CN has also been buying former Union Pacific Dash 8's and repainting them into CN colors in Southern Illinois. Good catch & photo.
|
As stated in my caption, CN 2158 is the former BNSF/ATSF 846.
|
Nice paint job
|
Oh yes, your great photo clearly shows it is ex BNSF. I just find it interesting they are buying both BNSF & UP units to beef up their fleet. Very interesting photo. I like it a lot.

Now that is an interesting sight to see the CN wet noodle with the BNSF swoosh, although I like CN's red black and white coloration.
