Is the glass half full or half empty? You can have two E-units in CN colors or have the units go to the scrapper, which would you prefer? My choice (although I agree the E's in CN are definetly ugly), is to have the E units in any color rather than not have them at all.

Those engines are sick!

BTW somebody mentioned the CR OCS. I know the cars went to CSX and NS but the E8's got bought by the Juniata Terminal (two painted for Pennsy, the third is still in CR paint but will be painted for Erie soon).

I thought CN only repainted two units and left two as IC.

Have they repainted the others too?

Too bad, those were beautiful units. Between this and the breaking up of Conrail's OCS we are starting to loose some of the real celebrated locomotives to mergers and new paint schemes.
