Now over the past 5 years, I've seen some very interesting crap, but this takes the cake! I never even thought they existed until now... Conrail 631100, a very rare "COILsheild" coil service car passes on CN 115. Note the flat loaded with vans behind it!
12:23 Eastbound CBNS 306, consist: 3 Units, 3 cars
(Note direction is where the units were facing)
E/B LLPX 1508 - (GP15-1) Blue
W/B HATX 912 - (SD45-2) Grey
W/B GEXR 4022 - (GP40u) Red
CBNS bulkhead pulpwood car
2 white hoppers, last one being AEX 7634
This is my new record for most...
Finally got a photo of a GP15-1 leading on CBNS! While 3 of these locos are working as switchers on the RR, they are rarely used for mainline service and then are leaders on even rarer occasions like this one! LLPX 1508 is normally the Stellarton switcher - there are more photos of it there in...
A CBNS E/B is met by a crew of city workers/contractors/RR workers (not sure which one) who were mowing the trackside grass! Needless to say they had to move. Note that the huge lash-up with 3 SD45-2's was lead by a GP15-1! One of the big boys, HATX 914 was recently released from the shops after...
Sure seems like it, as LLPX 1506 is sandwitched by LLPX 1508, a fellow GP15-1 and LLPX 2259, a GP38-2. Note that its Conrail heritage is showing. The two other locomotives in the lash-up were HATX SD45-2's.
This LLPX GP15-1 shows it's obvious, poorly patched Conrail heritage well. It was the Stellartion swticher for a long time, but now it's running on the mainline alongside bigger brothers like LLPX GP38-2's and HATX SD45-2's. Note the waterbottles on the hood.

An ex-Conrail GP15-1, one of three currently leassed by LLPX to CBNS. This one has the beautifull Opration Lifesaver decal. Caught in the middle of a 5 unit lash-up.
