Railpictures.ca - Cameron Applegath Photo: What I believe to be either M314 or M305 heads westbound uphill past Hilda Ave in Thornhill on a sunny afternoon back in the Spring of 2014. Leading the freight is a former EMDX SD70ACe painted up in the blue and navy demonstrator scheme…now under the ownership of CN. I recall CN picked these up after leasing them either in early 2014 or late 2013…not sure on the exact date. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Nice catch. Those blue CN leader units, I’ve seen one or two. But never kept record of where I saw them.
