Title:  IC SD70 #1031 - Illinois Central
Description:  Have to admit that the red, black and white CN paint scheme is better than the former IC black shroud with a yellow line.

IC SD70 #1031 - Illinois Central
Title:  IC SD70 #1031 - Illinois Central
Description:  The small "ic" under the cab window is all that distinguishes this as a former Illinois Central loco. Shame they couldn't have kept the "i-ball" "Death Star" logo as well!

CN SD70M-2 #8872
Title:  CN SD70M-2 #8872
Description:  Bringing up the rear of the 5 unit lashup was CN #8872. Behind the five was a modest train length of about 70 cars, not enough to warrant five locos so it must have been a power move besides the freight train.
