As of today, CN no longer has any active IC blue devils in active service...2466 has been spotted with an exhaust cap and is being moved to storage. Bet that'll make someone happy on here.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - May 2023
EDIT (exchanged posts....this reply is actually after the time posted....since this message originally was an earlier IC 2466 post):
OK, what time did E271 train pass through Dearborn area? What time did it get to Flat Rock? Which train will it go out on next? This engine probably won't lead back!!!!! CN "GTW Heritage" SD70M-2 #8952!!!!
