Great coincidences here in this picture: Both SD40-3's, Both are numbered in the 6000 series but one slight difference: One is GEC Alstom Canada (GFCX) and the other Illinois Central (IC). That is a slick photo here. That would be nice to hang on the bedroom wall in or on a computer desktop.

I thin I know what's going on with GCFX 6061. It was renumbered CN 6931 and it's back at CN. And You know what'll happen to the IC SD40-2R's. They're getting the paint job. They already did SD70 1039 december of last year.

I'll be sad to see the IC paint go, but it will not hurt me that bad being I have hundreds if not thousands of shots of IC over the years, but for the beginning photographer get as many photos as you can, because IC will be a memory one day in the not too distant future. I think the IC SD70'S look sharp in CN paint, but I wish that CN still used the CN North America Scheme. Oh well, we just have to work with what we've got, either like it or lump it

I got some more Bad news for You. CN is planning to order more locomotives. It looks like the IC SD40-2R days are going to be numbered.

I don't mind CN ordering the SD70M-2 model, but as for the C44-9W I'm not as fond of those, but I will film those if that's all I can get.
