CN should do Heritage units

And just for the record, HTML tags don't work here.  Forum code resembles it, but uses [].

As for the heritage unit idea, methinks you'd have to go back a ways to find more than has been mentioned.

On the other hand, CSX and NS might have some interesting subjects to choose from.  There's still a lot of BNSF predecessor stuff still on the rails.

I'm trying to say "Here is a railroad that owes us some Heritage Units...Canadian National. and then I am simply asking if you think any user is under 21.

     Okay.  I'll ask....why?

Those Union Pacific heritage units are awesome! I have yet to see one in person though. I am glad that they at least did something. (better than no heritage units)    CN should paint some classic Grand Trunk heritage engine. (even though there are still many GTW engines around) The GT is my favorite railroad, and that would be awesome to see CN make a GT heritage unit! It's too bad that CN painted the two green/gold E-units into the newer red/black. I am glad that they still have the four E's, two painted for Illinois Central!

I really have not been exicited on hertitage eng painting. What UP did was mainly to protect their company logos and in my opinion has become very  overated. Shippers are doing business with UP, BNSF, NS and so forth--not MP, MKT, CNW, WAB, GN, Frisco and so on.

Wasn't the GM&O part of Frisco.

It was bought up by Illinois Central in the 70's I think.  That was when they changed their name to Illinois Central Gulf, CN from downtown Chicago to Joliet is old GM&O trackage.  It didn't work out too well and a bunch of the lines were sold off, eventually producing Gateway Western and teh SP line north from St. Louis.

What heritage? Canadian or American ? ? Remember Canadian National Railway was a Government of Canada run institution for years( a little bit of good old Canadian socialism) so what heritage would these locomotives represent? Oh, do you mean not CN but one of the American owned railroads CN bought, that makes sense. Interesting to find out if CN is a good corporate citizen eh?

The only former railroads under the CN banner that would seriously qualify for Heritage Units are Central Vermont, Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific, and Gulf, Mobile & Ohio.
