Comments on: A rare sight since the COVID-19 pandemic but a relatively common one before then, a 4-axle CN locomotive leading the ”big” freight, train 403. It seems like Joffre yard must have been short of big high-horsepower locomotives to send on train 402 last thursday, as they sent ET44AC 3165 paired with GP40-2WL 9576, the later which will lead the return trip to Joffre as seen here. Today the train was relatively short, with only stock comming from the Matane subdivision, as the train to Campbellton didn’t run the previous day. They ended up not making the full trip to Joffre, heading back to Mont-Joli engine light as Joffre did not send a 402 to meet up in Rivière-du-Loup.
