Foreign Power on Canadian National

I heard there were a couple of WC units on a NS train thru town this weekend, and yes, I missed them

Nice pics Milne! CN's diversity of roadnames and paint schemes + engine types = fun modeling!

Milne, Give Tim a call, he saw that train at Kingston and has the numbers.

 

BCR 747 looks like the last Helm leaser I saw on CSX... I think it was HLCX 6308

Ooppps... It is HLCX 6209 & HLCX 6210.

BCR 747 is a class GMF 30 serial #786246-5 manufactured in 1979/09 by EMD. BCR bought this loco from Shamrock Coal (Oneida & Western) in 1987/05 where it was numbered #9954. BCR purchased three other SD40-2's from O & W. The remaining 11 BCR SD40-2's were manufactured by GMD and purchased directly.

What a great looking engine.

This last is no surprise. I see many CN coming east (north by timetable) off the ex-IC rails out of New Orleans. And if CN absorbs KCS (which makes sense), I expect I'll see many more at the Gulfport engine terminal.

 

CN train #106 at Cobourg 2005/05/27 with CN SD40-2W #5348 and WC SD40-2R #6604 leading this 80 car train.

You can keep the NS unit if you send me some more CN's.

Nice shots!
