    I see in the September issue of Trains magazine, that CM has a new paint scheme, grey with red ends, similar to SP. Also a new locomotive type, two of the former BN GE B30-7A cabless units.

    They look great in their new colours [​IMG]

    Catt! anywhere near you?

    WOW !! Hey the CM actually works out of the old Grand Trunk yard at Durand , Michigan .

    Here on the CN we take cars to the CM and take cars out of there from them that they bring from DOW Chemical and other places in northern Michigan .

    Actually I put my resume in at CM and the General Manager called me back and wanted to hire me .

    Working there only pays $125.00 per day and you work as a conductor or engineer , whatever they need you for that day .

    Thats a pay cut for me :D

    Alan , I might be able to do that . I would have to be on a job that works Durand Yard and the CM would also have to be there at the same time .

    Actually I got about 40 pics right now of CN & GT power but I don't have a way to download them from my digital camera until my laptop gets in working order again .

    But I will be on the look-out for CM power [​IMG]
