Okay, guys...
This thread is kinda getting the feeling of being a private conversation among a particular "clique," and not one for the general forum.
Not that you guys are deviating a great deal from the topic at hand, but it seems like there have been more "attaboy" posts lately than discussions on locomotives in the deadlines.
If you want to discuss the C-40-8Ms and their attributes that are keeping them from being cut up, feel free to continue that line of thinking... as long as you relate them to the units being hacked up for Hyundais...
As for the commentary about the wishing of certian paint jobs...

"I want to see a B40-8 repainted CN "
To wit, Two-Tone-Green replied (while having a near heart-attack)
"*clears throat*
what did you just say? "
Yeah. We
all know the Red, White and Blue scheme is the best.
(Hey, I'm a
Bicentenial Baby, so I'm biased on that opinion.)
Although, if you guys want to continue this discussion, we can start a new, fantasy, thread about "what if" paint jobs. Although, CN9634 makes a prophetic statement, to some extent... as the units go through the shops for major repairs, they will be repainted... in CN corporate colors, since BCR has been taken over by CN.
(Although, in TTG's defense, if CN follows the UP lead and paints "heritage" units, then you may very well see a two-tone green unit on CN.)
Now...
Are the BCR units being herded to one location for disposition, or are they going to a variety of locations? Just currious.
