A cheater shot of some sorts, this train is actually shoving towards the photographer as he leaves the town of Wallaceburg behind. After years of debate, CSX has finally pulled the plug on operations south of Sombra as seen here, the last D924, shoves back to Sombra after picking up 12 loaded hoppers at the elevator in Wallaceburg. The reason for bringing down the caboose and shoving to Sombra (almost 20 KM between the two towns) was because the run-around siding in Wallaceburg had sustained damage during switching two days prior and was unusable, so for the final journey south, a 'shoving platform' was brought in. Fine by me :)
