One of the IC units I take it? Was it previously painted? I seem to remember 2 in IC colors, one in CN green and another unpainted unit. Thanks! Joshua CN E Unit |

Looks good. Railpace reported that "extra" CN E9 units were recently sold to LTE. According to the magazine, they were held as spares. Take with grain of salt. > One of the IC units I take it?

From what I can gather CN is now the owner of 7 E-units 100-106. Apparently the last 3 are ex-Burlington Northern engines.100-103 are E-9R and 104-106 are E8A units. Don't believe CN ever owned an original order E unit, only CP had that distinction, and they only had 3, 1801-1802

The three BN units are the one's Railpace has listed as sold to LTE, I think, since they have numbers in the 9900 series... You are right, the only E's bought new by a Canadian road were the three CPR E8's, bought specifically (along with a fourth in the order, B&M's only E8) to handle CPR/B&M joint services between Montreal and Boston. After that service ended, they jumped around eastern Canada. At least two made it to VIA. All are gone now. Rob > From what I can gather CN is now the owner > of 7 E-units 100-106.

I am sorry but that is one lousy paint scheme. The traditional CN green worn by these units looked more classy and reinforced the term 'executive locomotive'. duncan_ev_campbell@hotmail.com |

Remember, CN's "noodle" is an international award winning design. It's probably in the best interest of the company to use the logo that is most recognized for its executive train. > I am sorry but that is one lousy paint > scheme.
