I think yours is much more comprehensive in its approach to the history of the paint scheme. I reread your post today and was impressed (again) that you captured those elusive CNNA cars.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917230984518214781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-61849821928093729592015-03-24T12:26:39.096-04:002015-03-24T12:26:39.096-04:00Thanks for the Trackside Treasure shout-out and li...Thanks for the Trackside Treasure shout-out and link to my CNNA post here in the comments section.<br /><br />I find it to be still a rare find to find one of these CNNA units in service. Correct - my post was not to serve as a history of the CNNA scheme, and I was much more interested in the freight car schemes and my "chases" or encounters with the cars trackside. I gave a cursory nod to the locomotive application, not being primarily a locomotive enthusiast.<br /><br />Great 5324 photos!<br />EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-26545845170710566902015-03-24T10:32:59.173-04:002015-03-24T10:32:59.173-04:00While this post is not meant to be a history of th...While this post is not meant to be a history of the CNNA scheme, I did find Eric's CNNA post on Trackside Treasure.

It's been a while since I've seen a CNNA unit, but that doesn't mean much when you live in Ottawa and don't get many opportunities to see much.

I'm hoping Eric will link to his CNNA post in the comments section.

I spotted CN 2448 on Wednesday evening still sporting the logo. It just doesn't show up well and Eric's post shows how poorly it showed up on the grey cars (which I have never seen personally).Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-2942497698535560932015-03-20T19:07:15.470-04:002015-03-20T19:07:15.470-04:00I remember the CN North America logo being describ...I remember the CN North America logo being described as looking like a big patch of peeling paint. Both CN and CP were trying to find an identity (CPs two flags was a PR disaster)after massive changes through line abandonments and new mergers and ownerships. Both came out stronger financially and have continued to progress. <br />Andrew Kerr<br />Sydney, AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
