It's getting extremely rare to see these old cowls in these parts, much less leading no less! Here we have CN 406W passing Allison, NB en route to Saint John with a short 2580 foot over-powered train rolling down hill with the dynamics blaring. Once these guys pass the next crossing they will throttle up to 40mph for the next 175 miles to their destination.

CN train B730, a unit Canpotex potash train, from Saskatchewan to Saint John NB is nearing its destination as it descends the grade in full dynamics just a few miles from Courtney Bay. Leading on the head end is 2841 with 2850 and 125 cars back is in DP action 2958 and 2966. The sun was shinning brightly today with the winds blowing at around 50kph. Love this spot.

The first CN 120 to arrive in the Maritimes after the derailment in Gananoque Ontario. This train usually arrives during the wee hours of the morning thus not giving us the opportunity to photograph it. Taking complete advantage of the time of day and the sun light, here is CN 2228 from train 120 almost in Moncton, NB from some switching and a re-crew and then on to Halifax, NS.
