These four came into Homewood put together in a crazy lashup, but when they got there we watched them separate. The two units on the left would eventually move into the loco shops. |

Still In Service, For Now |
| Description: |
A CN SD70M-2 is in storage, fortunately just until another train is ready to leave the yard. As an NS railfan, its strange to me that CN keeps them out of storage. |

An assortment of CN Dash 8s and a single SD70M-2 sit in long term storage in the back of CNs Markham Yard. This shot was hard to get, as I had to push my way through trees to get to the fence. The parked OCS was blocking my normal view. |

If locomotives could talk, then I bet the GEVO would be insulting the C44-9WL about how old and dirty it is. Us railfans would much prefer it though. |

Fake Fallen Flag |

I love fallen flag units, and so do I lot of other people, but I dont often see the CN Ex-Citirails being appreciated. Its probably because they arent actually fallen flags, but they are close enough that I think they should be grouped with them. |

| Title: |

| Description: |
I was just driving through Stillwell one day, and a random CN manifest out of Kirk Yard was just sitting there on the mainline. It had a nice Ex-BNSF AC44C6M trailing. |
