    CTRW Oops...

    Driving through rural SK, looking for CTRW in semi-abandoned hamlets, I finally found some RR equipment in the middle of now-where, next to a deserted HWY. Judging by the bulldozer tracks, CTRW decided to clean this one up. His trucks are just outside of the frame.

    While CN Dash 9-44CW rtosters are common with more then 200 running around, this one has to be King! It\'s the newest and the baddest one out there! At least until the new units arrive. CN 2727 (2005 Dash 9-44CW, rebuild CN 2667) & BC Rail 763 (SD40-2) lead a westbound intermodal.
