I wonder why the front CN logo is missing the N?
There’s quite a few 8000s with a missing logo. Not sure why though.
Passing by Aldershot right? Not going in? You can’t get into Aldershot from track 2 once you pass Snake. Great shot.
Not sure why the n has peeled off? Maybe too quick a trip through the paint shop?
Thanks! Yeah passing by. Yeah there’s a possibility. Maybe the paint didn’t cure or set or whatever you call it.
No worries. I know when I have had some of the newly painted units on my trains the job quality does not look as good as it used too. Hopefully the next 90 new units CN has on order will have better paint jobs.
Would those happen to be the new EMD tier 4s?
I am not sure. CN announced yesterday its spending budget fot 2016 and that included 90 new high horsepower units, but it did not specify the builder. I know CN is pleased with the ET44AC’s but lets hope there will be some EMD’s in the mix.
8007 had a similar peeling number/logo syndrome. It had a ghetto spraybomb job on its engineer’s side numbering for a while circa 2008.
