Comments on: Having just brought 697 north from Toronto, the 2002 will become the Northlander’s trailing unit as 2000 is prepped to move off the siding and then onto the nose of 2002. A regular occurrence when this train was on this schedule, a crew would bring a unit from the shop (it was needed up north) and leave it in the siding for the evening train which was due in at 2315 and departed at 2335. Enough time for a quick brake test and splash of fuel. Winter time was another story, though. Date is approximate.
