    Friendly intermodal

    I generally don't like intermodals, when I think that for every container there could of been a boxcar, but with good power and a wave, they're cool.

  12. CN OHIO crane

    CN OHIO crane

    1976 CN 50474, 40 ton OHIO crane pushed a platform, also pulling another one. Notice a MOW operator on the front. I got to observe this thing lay fresh tracks from the car it pulled, then travel the mainline to rest at the MOW depot. Quite an impresive piece of machinery.

    CN GP9RM

    The view you'll see if you're being run over by a train. Shot from public property, obviously it wasn't moving. Looks a bit like a 2300 series ALCO with the short hood, round roof & no dithlights...
