  1. IMS dune buggy

    IMS dune buggy

    Sometime this year CP outsourced their IMS operations in the city to PARSEC. This brought in three visible changes. 1. A large "We're hiring" sign. 2. Two holster tractors: http://tinyurl.com/2svftb 3. This truck. I'm not sure what exactly he does, but I do love the roll cage...

  2. BNSF swoosh

    BNSF swoosh

    I've been reading about it on Railroadforums for years now, but this is my first BNSF swoosh on an IMS flat, here they're mostly found on autoracks. Either way this was a good catch, since CN IMS's seem to be 99% TTX/CN flats. I became so bored watching them, I started shooting containers -...

  3. My first SD70M-2

    My first SD70M-2

    CN 8002, SD70M-2 and a Dash 9-44CW lead a typical IMS. Unlike with the ES44DC's, I haven't had as much luck catching the SD70M-2's on CN's mainline - this is my only catch so far.

    CPPU 630224

    Presiden't Choice wrapping on a typical CPPU box. You can tell by the rust that the box itself isn't new, the paint scheme sure looks new though, as I haven't seen it before and I see CP IMS every other day. Odd that the container is promoting food, as it's not a reefer, more likely loaded with...

  5. CPR semi

    CPR semi

    Typical CPR semi-truck, I see them around town all the time hauling CPPU boxes on CPPZ trailers. You can see the trucker's feet under the truck, since he's on the other side inspecting the load. The crossbuck and Stop sign on the right, belong to the shop wye track, consists, including SD40-2...

  6. IMS power

    IMS power

    CN tries to save on power anywhere it can, even outdoing CP with more one unit-wonders lately. Yet when it comes to intemrodal, its the power hour! Two CN SD60F's sandwtich a BCR SD40-2.

  7. ONR IMS on CN Rivers sub

    ONR IMS on CN Rivers sub

    CN & ONR have a power sharing agreement, whereby CN gives them power for heavy coal trains, ONR in turn gives back whenever it can spare (or something close). Normally their units are capped in Northern Ontario, here however their newest power is taking an Intermodal out West! ONR 2105 is...

    Old meets new

    How many Class I Railways still have a SW8 on roster, switching IMS? The unit has since been put in storage. CP 1010, SW8 slug, pulling an intermodal. Powered by a GP9u.
