B&LE 902 suffered a bent crankshaft and is on its way to get repaired offline, presumably to Homewood.

That is correct,
902 is en route to the CN Homewood shops where it will have a swapped motor dropped in.
Not certain is if its coming back. Its presumed that it will be returned but that could change.

Foreign power continues to trickle in.
IC 1032 and IC 1034 are making there way onto the BLE sub.
866 reportedly was sent to Homewood. Interesting to see what CN has in plan for the 66.

Earlier today at 12:12am 866 arrived Gilman, IL late this afternoon. Still about 220 miles from St. Louis. Those two reports up above was me, but now my account on here is approved.

Im pretty sure both SD40-2Ws are off the property now. Only two T motors remain in service.
Yes the 866 is coming back. Its getting a new alternator, and a few power assemblies and will be back. Most likely no paint

Most likely no new paint? Not getting a fresh coat of B&LE paint or not getting CN paint? Also todays Southbound train had IC 1038, B&LE 907, B&LE 905, And IC 1017.

From what was said to GV it was being sent for the new Alternator, hard to say what CNs plan is for the 866. They simply just told the BLE Sub its coming back.
