Things are operating a little differently at MANA these days, and you won't see CN (link here) or CP (link here) directly switch out the facility any time soon, as they are now switching things out with their own trackmobile. This would be my first trackmobile post, and I am doing so as I know a few of us were wondering why gons were being left on the lead that runs into Stelco alongside Industrial Drive. Some track issues necessitated the change, and I know a number of us have observed a lot of track work going on at MANA in the past several months as well.

    Good to know! I thought gons parked on the parallel right of way meant CN was lurking nearby!

    BTW This trackmobile (and likely the crews) are provided by Allied Track Services.

    Thanks Steve. I was wondering that when I posted this. I’d made nothing in the way of notes about this. To be honest I never expected to post it but figured it answered a few questions.
