For those of you whom didn't hear the former C1s are going to Denver to be used on the Ski Train behind some E9s.

The though of that isn't really pretty to the eyes... Tongue
But then again, we've seen them with F-Units before, just gotta see how they hold up in the winter.

Considering they braved more then one northeastern salt air winter I think they will do just fine in a driver enviroment.

C1's will do just fine!  It now all depends on how the E9's over there will pull them with the heavy weight the C1's are!  Remember that when the Metra E8's were here, they had their share of problems pulling the C1's, and couldn't last the full week before being taken out of service, and sent back to Metra!
