    Coal solo

    Freshly washed CN SD40-2W leads an empty coal train solo. Sadly I didnt take car counts back then, this was a full unit train though at least 70 cars. Normally two Dash 9-44CW type engines handle the job. This is not an April Fool's joke, the train was actually spotted on April 1st.
