  1. CN Scale Test Car

    CN Scale Test Car

    Caught him a while back. Sorry that the photo is so small, had I known such small cars existed (it's a cut-down hopper), I would of zoomed in more then I ussually do. He caught me completely off-guard, right between regular stuff.

  3. Last Canadian Safety cab

    Last Canadian Safety cab

    More then 30 years ago CN invented the Canadian Safety cab, which has created such oddballs such as the GP40-2L(W), SD40-2(W) and the GP38-2(W) that don't look even close to their regular versions. Don't forget that draper tapers, namely Dash 8-40CM, SD50F, SD50AF and SD60F have this cab as...

    CN's one unit wonder

    While one unit wonders are fairly common on CP, they're rare on CN. When they happen though, it's ussually with a SD40-2/SD40-2(W) or a Dash 9-44CW for power, not a draper taper! CN 5522, SD60F, leads a mixed train which had some new hoppers on it. You can also see "Portage JCT" in...

    Working all year round

    CN crew works in winter and spring. If you look really carefuly, you'll notice that the slugs are different. In the top photo it's YBU-4, in the bottom one it's a S-3. Most often it's a GP9 slug though. The power is always GP9RM. CN 7213 & 203 CN 7251 & 268

    GCFX 6072

    50 SD40-3's just like this one (rebuilt CN SD40's) have been around CN for a while now. But recently they've been all bought back by CN and are being patched up and renumberedas WC. Most are still in the GCFX sheme though.

    BC Rail Dash 8-40CMu's are now the most common foreign power on CN. It used to be GCFX/WC SD40-3's. Oddly it was trailing a CN Dash 8-40CM.

    Wheels...

    Living in a major RR hub both for CN, CP & VIA, I see wheel movements quite often, ussually they're on platforms that are on mixed trains. CN however occasionally put them up on intermodals as in this case.

    Until recently these units could only be found in BC or as lessors, when BC Rail sold them. Now CN runs them on Intermodals!
