I saw it pass MP40 in South Elgin IL at 22:10, but it was way too dark for me to make out anything. Detector reported 766 axles, 20 MPH. Wish it would have been in daylight.

Kevin Curran posted a video of it at Hillside, IL at 23:06.?

Looks like Trains magazine newswire has them heading for a scrapper in Welland, Ontario.

"Included in the move were CN Nos. 2180, 2444, 2434, 2431, 2432, 2036, 2402, 2037, 2005, 2003, 2008, 2424, 2019, and 2038; British Columbia Railway Nos. 4620, 4619, and 4623; and Illinois Central No. 2462."
