Does anyone know about 8448? If so, tell me where and the train number it was leading.

Thanks Kyle!
metraRI, can you please explain why the SWS has the 8448 still?

I Saw #7114 on RI #611 today
The Amerail rehab program results in cars going to the Rock and different cars being sent back as replacements.
ALERT! ALERT! EVERYONE ALERT! There is an 8400 as the lead cab car on BNSF trackage!!!! It was reported today at Downers Grove.
BNSF has several of the higher numbered 8400 series cars that are part of the SWS pool. My guess it would be between 8470-8475.

My guess it would be between 8470-8475.8469-8478 is the BNSF pool.. one or two in that group may have gone elsewhere.. not sure what HC has now, and it will probably all change as the rebuilds come out.
