Up here in Fond Du Lac,Wi,the CN has been running quite an assortment of motive power from various railroads. So far the locomotives have been CN repaints of IC,GTW,and WC heritage along with Union Pacific,BNSF,CSX,FURX,NRLX ,along with a few WC and IC units,and the rare BLE as well..Yes the CN IS power short.What does not make any sense is the CN has been moving locomotives on double stack and regular freights in multi unit lash-ups of 5-7 units per train,heading North. There has not been alot of WC units seen in the FDL area.You would be lucky to see at least 7 in a day of the SD45's.There used to be a set of WC SW1500 switchers on the South part of the yard,but they are long gone,replaced with a WC GP40,and a WC SD45,along with a CN SW1500,and a CN GP40. Sitting in the RIP track is a IC unit,a WC SD45 and a CN cowl unit.Still sitting in the dead line are the ex Algoma Central / WC GP9's:1703,1704,1705,1706,1707,and 1708,along with the Ex FRVR / CNW GP 9 in CNW colors. There was a remote controlled train,but that has been scrapped,except for the ex Soo Line caboose that is still intact.
