    Speaking of IC, found this in a SB BNSF train!

    Nice catches. The ICG hopper is probably pretty rare now.

    Pretty cool. Never seen a CN in blue! Is it a former CR unit?

    If I remember correctly, those blue CN units are the form LMS lease units that were originally leased to CR or maybe it was a split lease with 1/2 year on CR and 1/2 year on CN and the CN eventually picked them up.
