LMS, IC, CN

Beginning in 1994, Conrail purchased 60 C40-8W locomotives in cooperation with General Electric Locomotive Management Services.  The first 40 were painted Conrail blue with LMS markings.  The last 20 were painted for Conrail.  These LMS traveled extensively in the Pacific Northwest in the mid to late 1990s.  Last Sunday, June 24, an ex LMS, ex Illinois Central unit now lettered for Canadian National, came through Vancouver as the third unit on a Tacoma-Chicago intermodal train.
