    Saw this today on the Duluth Shipping News website. From what little I understand there is a big oil project up in nothern Alberta. Anyone know more details? I am not sure if it going CP all the way but CP did the switching there in Duluth. Some great pics of the Schnable car and train.

    If you have the chance to see this thing in operation it is well worth the trip to catch it.

    Is it true that this is, according to the Duluth News, the largest capacity train car in the world? I thought there were some big cars like that in Germany, too. :confused:

    Those are some great pictures on the Duluth News website. [​IMG]
