This is a new train. BNSF-CP-CN routing from Wyoming coal fields to Prince Rupert, BC. I caught it at Great Falls, MT back in July.

Agree, Hobo. Have seen plenty of the CN version of this train, first time I've seen an all CP consist. When it went south through Mt. Vernon, had 3 units on the point, and no DPU.

Great catch! I saw the returning power headed south on Sunday as it crossed the border. I didn't know this was a variant of the Rupert trains, I thought they might have been a CP detour, and with only three units now vs. mostly four when CN ran 'em, these things must have a hard time getting up to northern BC.

You know, I been seeing a mixed bag of power on these coal trains here at Longview, today I saw one coal train with two Warbonnets, one SD75 and the other was a GE with the usual AC traction locomotives.
