They took 501's power and sent it from Paris to Port Rob and back on a X330 and the power was resumed as 501 today. Basically, a one time move.. unless this becomes more frequent. It would seem CN is serious about intermodal and moving the cars quickly to where they need to go. I wonder if any of this is a reaction to the potential of CP+KCS. From what I was told:

On another note, there was an EB double stack on the Dundas sub today that used the cowpath to go EB on the Grimsby sub. Had two CN units. Another new symbol ?

Brad US crews do not operate into the border for the most part. From what I can tell there's always crew changes at borders for Canadian crews in the country exept for border transfers that may come across and go back. (And even some of those are required to have Canadians in the crew pool) Issac the 162′s have been all over the map as far as origin or destination
