    So long CN 4779

    Wrecked and retired in 2004, this classic CN zebra widecab was stored for years in Edmonton before being sold to NRE. Pictured here on its final mainline/CN/Canadian trip. Maybe it will be fixed up and turned into a lessor? Not a lot of those units running with widecabs... Not sure why CN...

    CN 452

    Two SD50F's are working hard to get 452 up to speed. Normally this train runs on the PNL, however CN has permanently detoured it to the mainline on the Saskatoon, SK - Portage, MB portion.
