Comments on: This was a morning I had gone out for whatever, maybe groceries, I dunno; when I saw a headlight down the line as I was crossing the tracks. Anyone who railfans Niagara knows that morning shots of westbounds are next to impossible as you end up shooting right into the sun. So I went down a country road and decided I might shoot this if it had anything good. I was really surprised at the leader……..one of the four (8100-8103) EMD SD70ACe demonstrators that came to CN in January 2014, so this was shot not long after they arrived. Certainly is a striking paint job. A number of fans had a lot of luck photographing these before they got painted into standard CN, but I wasn’t one of them. This was the best I could do.

These didn’t last long in this ‘paint’ on CN. I only got them a couple times myself!

Hahahaha…don’t worry about it. Most of us railfans are not “all there” anyway, are we?

I remember this one. I wanted to skip class because of it, but thought better of myself. Good thing I went cause it left quite the impact on me. 2+2=6 right?

Here’s my take back in Aug. 2015. This was the only time I caught one of these in this paint scheme.
