Comments on: All the excitement over 435 last weekend with the three CN North America painted units got me thinking of other times when I’ve seen solid consists of “CNNA” units. I recall an early 90′s consist with a GP40-2L(W) and two SD40us at Bayview, and a pair of C44-9W on 148 at Brantford. I’m sure there were others. This consist in Fort Erie with three different models in CNNA paint is probably the best example I’ve got. The reverse move in the yard with no cars provided a nice opportunity to photograph the consist in favourable light.

Nobody cared in 2007.. they were just another CN train of boring CN units.

Everyone wanted the foreign power, much of which is now gone off the foreign rosters..

and so few people chased trains, because the next one was probably just as good as the last..

Definitely by today’s standards this is extremely foam-worthy. But I wonder how many railfanners took this for granted in 2007?

Well, today it’s exciting. I despised this scheme when it debuted, because it marked the end of the zebra stripe scheme. I got over it, but I still think an SD70i in zebra would be pretty cool.
