Nice catch! These units were former GECX tier 4 demo units that were supposed to go to Baffinland a Canadian iron ore company for a line expansion but the plan didn’t work out. I heard they were being taken to Albia.
@@jefftoft5568 Interestingly... Baffinland Mining is located in Canada's North and is seeking a new route south (Instead of previously north) with another Railway Company with more experience than they have with Trains. A new Contract "without" their own locomotives... which makes more sense to me. (Note your Video shows the BAFFINLAND Lettering is now Gone) The company makes money mining iron ore and gold. These eight GECX ET44AC's May Go to CPKC but I will not confirm that
The consensus is they are heading to Relco in Albia, IA. You can see painted over was the Canadian company they were intended for. Pretty sure CPKC is not getting them.
That is just a rumor. Nothing confirmed. The Railfan community saw red engines being shipped out and automatically started claiming they’re going to CPKC.
soo line wasn't, these aren't. these are solid colors, not "candy" ... the name comes from the candy coating on apples that is a transparent red and is a totally different look than red. i've been painting cars/bikes for 30+ years. blue has nothing to do with being candy.
@@douglasskaalrud6865 He's right though. "Candy apple red (occasionally known as apple-candy red) is the name code used by manufacturing companies to define a shade of red similar to the red sugar coating on candied apples. The typical method for producing a candy apple finish is to apply a metallic base-coat, followed by a translucent color coat."
Those engines are heading to Relco in Albia, Ia. They were supposed to be for a mine expansion in Canada that didn’t materialize. For some reason everyone thought they were destined for CPKC because they were red. Thanks for watching Andrei.

I could see that lettering still visible but didn’t know anything about the company. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
You’re welcome @@jefftoft5568!
Very nice color for delivering scrap and combo cars. Great video.
Thanks again for watching Gilbert.
RELCO bound... Great Catch Jeff Toft!
That would have been my guess, thank you William.

Possible test units for rebuilds.

Nice catch of those units which no one seems to agree on LOL

Good video Jeff :)
Thank you, thanks for watching.
Thx Jeff. Are those going to be CPKC units?
That is just a rumor. Nothing confirmed. The Railfan community saw red engines being shipped out and automatically started claiming they’re going to CPKC.
Going to Albia, IA. No idea who they may be for. Heard they were originally for a mining company expansion that never materialized.
Candy apple red is my favorite color
👍 Thanks for watching.
Nice Paint Locomotives.
Thanks Latrell.
nice video
Thank you!
Wow!
Thanks, headed to Relco in Albia, IA.
it would be nice if these became new units for CPKC
Don’t think so or we would have seen them by now. Thanks for watching.
Awesome catch! -Jenny
Thank you Jenny, have a great evening.
Your welcome and thank you also.@@jefftoft5568
Soo Line red never was candy-apple red. Not enough blue in it.

Ok
@@josephlalock8378 I’ll disagree and I’ve been painting models since 1968. Not going to waste my time with a keyboard warrior either.

Rather show up the lead CP engine don't they ...
