Yes, as IC1034 7, the SD70s are Dead in Tow for upgrades. There's only actually 8 powered locomotives. Nevertheless, that's massive! Looks like we've been getting more and more powerful lash-ups!
Thanks for the info. I thought they were repositioning motive power to where they needed it. So, the engines heading back toward Woodcrest are all upgraded? Are they then repainted in Markham?
I wish they had a spare set of traction motors lying around for the prototype GM&O SD40 they gave to Monticello a year ago. Not that they don't have enough diesels of all types to operate already, but too bad to donation had to be minus motors. Just have to win the Mega drawing.

Those IC SD70s are getting DPU capabilities installed at Metro East Industries in East St. Louis. Nice catch!

@Tedeboy999 Yes, the ones headed for Woodcrest are upgraded. I don't think CN will repaint them at the moment, but you never know what CN will do...
