Well, if you wanted to know the deal behind the recent rebuilds from Asltom, here it is. Engine histories, carbodies, and paint schemes.

I'm looking for pictures, if anybody has any they'd be willing to send my way.

Don't really know the history on these but I got a feeling CN wants to keep these GCFX's that they are using now , especially since micorwave ovens were installed , a mandatory on all CN power .

Great shots Dave, but that's not the series I'm looking for. Those were rebuilt to CN specs and are on long-term lease with them. That was the testbed for Alstom, and CSX decided to jump on the bandwagon.
