LOL Rick is not a yard hogger..haha he is #1 in the terminal but does not work freights much anymore. Actaully 432 went out of Mac Yrd with about 84000ft and then he took the traffic back to Mac. I had not heard about 551, glad no one was hurt.

I heard it…I think they changed crews at Aldershot…the yard hogger “rick” took it back to Mac… then 551 just hit a car at a crossing at 37.7 injuries reported to occupants

@MrDan.. CN still has the 7500 GP38-2 with two TEBU4 in between, but lately the hump power has been 6000 class rebuilds with one 200 class TE’s in the middle. Of the four that I have seen, 2 are painted in the CNNA paint scheme.
No wide cabs have been used on the hump and we have no SD slug sets as far as I know.

Nice and fresh! What other hump power is assigned Mac? The early CN 6000-series rebuilts, or regular SD40-2W’s too? SD-slug-SD sets?
