CN 4900 @ Lockport! Must see, very rare!

Usually this is a night local, but today, it worked out for me, now, granted, I missed an SD60M on the Chicago sub, I missed 90230 by a half a minute (gates went up as soon as I got to the crossing) I missed the two daily manifests on the CN Joliet sub, and yeah. Seeing this, didn't nearly make up for all that stuff, but it was a nice surprise. What is amazing to me, is that this left UD (Joliet station) about 2 hours before it got to the Lockport station. That, is amazing. Here 4900 and 4952 are seen running long hood forward with the oil job.

Its not a Canadian National, its Grand Trunk Western 4900

[Andrewsaxamophone]

It's CN with GTW report markings.

@Andrewsaxamophone it should not be "CN 4900" it should be GTW 4900. It is still GTW but just with CN paint. CN records this unit as being GTW 4900.
