7027 had one burnt out as well when it rolled through on 246 on February 17.

Nice shot indeed, Brian.

The siding is still used as a switchback for CMI (customer) located near Dobbie Drive. Also MOW trains have been known to park here.

Seems the ditch light is out on many of these – the last Heritage that rolled down the Hamilton sub had one out too.

Thank you Kevin, Noe, and Larry. Yeah they cut the siding on that end in 2013 I think.

No dis intended in my comment. These former SD90′s are a pretty “hot” item on here lately. Thus the silly comment in regard to the one light being out. (re-reading my 1st comment, it does read like a nasty tied up in a bow).
And yes, nice shot Brian.

What engine failure looks fine to me

Interesting. I didn’t know they cut that siding. I thought it was defunct though.

Nice shot Brian. It’s hard to believe that mainline trains used to have daily meets here.

These new CP units are so hot that a ditch light has burnt out already?
