Great fall afternoon to be out taking a few photos. This was an empty unit train, approx. 50 cars, with a smooth and short sided hopper neatly placed in the middle. The 4331 will head north to the Lac La Biche Sub. at Kerensky, a half mile or so past where I was standing. Keeping the theme from my other captions lately, notice the road bed, so neat and tidy. Pretty sure all the crews were enjoying it. Time of photo, 16:40, cab 79694 on the end.

    Beautiful, you wouldn’t find CN unit trains with interesting power like that anymore!

    With high hood GP9′s, very unlikely to happen, I agree with you. To have all 3 in Zebra these days (even if it is a GP38 and chopped GP9 mixture) will make the chances slimmer.
    Thanks Ian. :-)

    Nicely captured scene. Looking good in stripes running long hood forward and wearing ditch lights.

    Nice. I wonder how many of these 3 are still around.
