  1. Triangular Truss

    Triangular Truss

    Anybody ever seen one of these before?
  2. GMC trucks

    GMC trucks

    These were the only trucks included in the popular MSTS Train Simulator game. In real life however, it is them who are on the train! Being cab-overs the engine is fully exposed to the elements toward the back of the cab. Is this smart?
  3. What exactally is it?

    What exactally is it?

    What ever it is, it's employed as some sort of guard for a crossing a few feet from the yards on the CP Outlook sub. It appears to be a semi-dismantled crossing fixture, and I am unaware if it controls the cars or the trains.
  4. Radio towers?

    Radio towers?

    I've seen these loads on CN before, ussually travelling in a CN gondola.
  5. Cable barrels?

    Cable barrels?

    Quite a few of these loads coming through on CN & CP recently.
  6. TRAX 10636

    TRAX 10636

    TRAX cars are ussually used for MOW but this is one of the few, maybe even the only one used in revenue service along with the usual CN/IC/WC and NBSR wood cars we get. Note that it appears to be a weld from two different cars. You can clearly see the differences on the top! Must be hard...
  7. Intersting load

    Intersting load

    The photo speaks for itself.
  8. Truck on truck on truck...

    Truck on truck on truck...

    I don't see this too often, but it happends.
  9. CN Articulated hopper

    CN Articulated hopper

    CN Lines SIG has a good description on these oddballs: http://cnlines.ca/CNcyclopedia/hop/hop4.php
  10. Unusual Delivery

    Unusual Delivery

    After re-railing an empty reefer, a BNSF Mantis completes the delivery to the interchange at Ballard. The reefer had gone on the ground at the de-rail switch up the hill.
