    Cool, I shot that unit in Saginaw (Fort Worth, TX) on Sunday! Also nabbed what appeared to be an SD50F a few weeks ago but I haven't checked the number yet to see exactly.

    No kidding! Is the paint flaking that badly, or is that a flaking 'Map' unit with the north american map in the scheme?

    It looks like it's part flake and part map.

    Yes It Is Flaking Paint Due To Severe Winter Weather Here In The Great White North And The Map Is Also For Real!

    LOL, I guess we know now how CN paints those engines... Grey underneath, then the black and Spaghetti Noodle logo over it..

    Just the ones with the maps on the sides are painted that way.

    Nice catch! I don't think I have caught any SD50F's!
