CN 4725 and CN 4906 are tied down in BA52 with a good string of cars trailing. After the advance warning alerts, the Automatic Engine Shutdown/Start-up (AESS) aka Smart Start initiated the engine cranking sequence to get the prime mover going, with a short puff of exhaust, 4725 comes to life and a smooth idle.

    Love the “action” in this still shot.

    Very interesting, good picture, and informative caption. 4725 sure could use “a lick of paint”. We’re they then off to Caledonia ? Thanks for posting, John

    Thanks for the comments. After Via 73 departed I was wondering the platform. 4725 could definitely do with a coat of paint. No crew in sight when I departed at 1540h.
