Comments on: STUCK IN THE MIDDLE! This was the first surprise of my day while at the Station Road crossing in Grafton. CN 3030 is found in the midst of train 305. This is the first train in my 30+ years of railfanning on the Kingston Subdivision that I saw this arrangement, although as fellow rp.ca user ‘mberry’ pointed out – this is common.

@Driver8666 – looking at it from this angle, these engines always remind me of a hammerhead shark.

@ngineered4u – yes, I haven’t. And that is probably why because the last time I railfanned and photographed a freight on the Kingston Sub it was probably just before the CN started using DPU’s! It’s been awhile to say the least….
@ Fred DesRochers – thank you. It was perfect timing really.

Really Todd, you have never seen this type of arrangement before? CN has been using DPU’s on the Kingston Sub for over 5 years now in an effort to stop train seperations..especially between Grafton and Brighton. 372, 368, 305 and other train are normally DP daily.
