cool catch and a neat train in general with the slug and all. What type of loco is the lead CN unit?
EMD GP9RM rebuilt from a GP9

Very nice find, thanks for posting.
Years ago, I got a photo of that unit down here in Jackson, MS at the CN yard.
Nice video.

Do you happen to know when this map/scheme was painted...? also was it on a single unit or a couple..?
This would have been the early 2000's, maybe 2003.All my photos are slides and all packed away during a move. It was a single unit. I looked on Fallen Flags and it was listed as a "Wisconsin Sesquicentennial unit". No 3027 had the different state flags, and I may have gotten photos of it also. 3026 was parked at the north end of the yard which was great for photography. There was an awful lot of WC power down here then; I believe CN had just acquired WC at the time. It's nice to see it still in that scheme.
Before I retired,my route to work included driving the length of the IC yard and then along the KCS line; saw and shot alot of neat stuff, and still got to work on time
