A very clean CN SD70M-2 8878 is in charge of this very large M399 as it passes through Norval,Ont on a warm sunny afternoon. CN 523 passes 399 after setting out 9,424ft of traffic at Aldershot. With the demise of CN trains 330/331, some trains are now much larger and will be operating with DP power as required. May 7/16 both 421 and 385 were DP powered trains. 421 was almost 16,000 tons and over 11,000ft out of Mac Yard.

    @SD well my friend you need to get out a little more. That curve has been there for 2 years and is a part of the underpass they are building west of Mt. Pleasant
