pretty sure it is a SW7RM http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoPicture.aspx?id=93438
Cool, no wonder i didn't find it, I was looking for 1204 in CN colors! Thanks
jasonelki: Pay attention to the lettering below the cab numbers. They may be painted in CN colours but the reporting marks are still WC and IC.
So they are still WC 1562 and IC 1204, not CN 1562 and CN 1204.
This is a big difference because CN has a number of series that overlap with IC and WC number ranges.
Thanks for the heads up on this, didn't know that!
I wonder why CN would go through the process of repainting the locos only to keep the WC and IC reporting marks? Or is it strictly to keep from re-numbering the locos?
Realistically it probably boils down to a money/tax issue
