    CN coal?

    Ex-Southern & Burlington Northern (both fallen flags) coal hoppers roll under CNs banner. Theres also a large chunk of ex-CP ones in the fleet on unit trains. Note the bent structure on the CNA (ex-SOU) hopper.

  6. Reading & Northern

    Reading & Northern

    These coal hoppers have been showing up on CN through town since at least June 14th, 2008. Odd, since they have an interchange with CP. Clearly they didnt think the slogan through, as Reading & Northern is a US shortline, while I keep seeing them in Canada. Although hard to see in the...

  11. A Second Chance

    A Second Chance

    BNSF hoppers seem to migrate to northern Alberta on a regular basis, but this one stands out. Santa Fe 350346 appears fully intact, free of any patches or other things that symbolize the demise of the Santa Fe. Here we see him heading back east on CN 314. I caught this same car going north on...

    Reading and Northern Hoppers

    Reading and Northern coal hoppers are on the 450. Concidering where these are coming from, I wouldent be surprised if they were pulling Coke from Lloydminster. But the cars say 'Domestic coal service', so I guess it's not so.

    A Hazy shade of Kangaroo?

    CN may not have Buffalo boxcars anymore, but there spirit lives on to a certain extent with Kangaroo hoppers! Note the small iconic 'Canadian Kangroo' decal. I would imagine these haul potash and such for export to Australlia.

    CN5444

    Alot of old friends came to visit me today. Here we see CN 5444, which I have crossed paths with atleast 3 times. Behind the SD50 is an Illinois Central SD40-2R 6058. They took CN 450 into the hole to wait for an Westbound coal train.

    Brand new SOO hopper!

    SOO was purchased by CP years ago (1986?), since then SOO's proud name has been labelled on hundreds, if not thousands of rent-a-wreck obscure Lessor/Co-op/Shortline hoppers, most on their last leggs with former owner's names still showing. Looks like they finally got a good deal this time as...

    And Saskatchewan grain car that is to some extent old and new. It's sad when such a fine fresh paint livery gets vandalized. SKNX 393720 jumps the fences at Riverview.

  20. CPWX now CP

    CPWX now CP

    Lately both CN & CP have been taking the 'WX' out of the government owned hopper fleet, i.e. CPWX simply becomes CP as the patch on this hopper clearly shows. Of the 30 on this train I'd say about 1/4 were patched. Note the scorthed Earth in the foreground - result of grass fires.
