I don't know that the WC has a better reputation than IC. It really doesn't matter. If CN gets WC then they will probably do the same thing with them as they did with IC. I hope not, but if they do, say goodbye to WC. <br /> I live in IC country and it started quietly. We became known as CNIC. The official IC web site showed two locomotives. An IC and a CN. Then, a short while later, it showed ONLY the CN engine. Then they changed the train symbols. No more DECA or IO3 etc. Then on October 1st 2000, IC fans heard something on their scanners to send them into shock. No more "CNIC track warrant etc." It was just CN. Folks IC's flag has fallen as of 10/1/00. There is no Illinois Central anymore, just CN. A number of our locos were painted over with IC under the numbers on the cab. SD-40s, the newest one, we saw about a week ago, was a GP-38. <br /> I hope WC gets to stay around awhile longer. But I don't know. I just looked at the web site. Same old CN loco, but next to it, a good ole WC unit. <br /> If the deal goes through, don't be suprised if you don't have a WC after a short time. <br />
