A dirty ol' Blue Devil is sandwiched on a late afternoon 149 through Bowmanville. Leading is a rather clean M-2. Wonder if it washed or repainted? CN 8837, IC 2463, CN 2334 1736hrs

    LOL..yes Mike as hard as it it to believe..they actually do wash them. I picked up CN 8854 from Oshawa last night where it had ben set off as a b/o unit. When I coupled on to it i thought it was a brand new unit. I was impressed at how clean it was. Power washing is a blessing and a curse. The chemicals actually fades the paint over time.

    Like the 5600 and 5700′s? Pink is not a colour becoming a locomotive.
