Its not often you find a quartet of power with four different lines. Here CEFX 1036 leads CP 9681, BDRV 1888 and CN 3026 out from under Highway 6 bridge approaching Newman Road on the Hamilton sub. The BDRV 1888 is on its way to the Black River and Western Railway in New Jersey. As is normally the case, the best trains come in the rain and with a light fog.

    I truly have empathy for the train vs weather predicament. I always tried to come away with “I was at least there and saw it”. Not very successfully though, to often swearing at clouds or whatever that weren’t listening anyway. :-)

    Regardless, a cool foursome Bill.

    Good job, Lad. Thanks for the Heads Up. It was absolutely pouring rain when I saw this at Grassie.

    Very nice. I’ve been noticing CN units on CP trains. Is it power replacement? Seeing as CN is power short.
