Screamin' Eagle. After making their maiden run two days prior, CN 1776 and 2026 are making their first northbound trip back to Markham, originating in Memphis last night. To celebrate our nation's 250th Anniversary, CN has debuted these two freshly painted ES44AC's. They look incredible and it goes without saying that they hit it out of the park. The Screamin' Eagle on 1776 is just too cool and it's safe to say that these two units will be attracting a lot of attention from local fans everywhere.
Train Z195 is slowly making its way down the Chicago Sub main in Harvey, IL and will soon make its shove move into the north end of CN's Markham Yard. Rain made its presence known all night and into daybreak, but we lucked out with about an hour break and the sun even fought its way through the cloud cover a bit.
