This unit and its sister that should be arriving soon, are not staying perminantly on the SNC. They will eventually be going to another Iowa Pacific operation. Hence the IC colors

It does appear they swapped the horn, PAR 2 difinitly has a K5la now, the horn is a little blury on the PAR 1 but it is not a K5LA. Be cool to see if they swapped them.

They can stop at Middleboro. Mass Bay RRE's excursions over the last 2 years have boarded there and they were CCC charters. They are running one again this year from Middleboro, to Attleboro over CSX, to Fall River and back on April 21st. Surprised no one has seen it or posted it here yet. http://ma...

According to the PW and NECR yahoo groups CN officials were on the train discussing possible traffic from cn to the PW via NECR. The train was partially Cn's idea so they put their own car on the train.

As far as i know its staying on the cape until spring so it can be painted. GU cant use it in freight service. The FRA said they can't. Its down on the cape for some much needed mechanical work. It runs, but its engine block not in the best shape. It needs a lot of body work too. Lots of rust.

No Really seems to know if it's staying or not. It'd be kinda weird to have an f unit not only lettered for the wrong railroad but not painted in the right colors on ccc. I like the f unit, but unless there is a 2nd one purchased, I don't think its very practical. Its cool to see on the train, but I...

No offense, but I work for Cape Cod Central/Mass Coastal. We are supposed to paint it, and we don't even know what the paint job looks like. So I would not hold your breath about the paint job.

Ah, I have to disagree. I was told about the design for the loco and it is going into G&U scheme black and yellow. Probably over the winter.....can't wait to see it, will be a solid look from what was described. Kind of a shame. the GU paint job is very boring. would have looked a lot better in...
