Rolling along at a mind-numbing 10mph, the eastbound ballast work train is a mile or two out of the tiny town of Bar River, which makes Echo bay (my previous shot) look like a bustling urban center. 

They will be in the 10mph zone for track speed for another hour or so, until the restriction is lifted east of Thessalon.

The hope is that with work trains just like this one, the slow orders will gradually diminish, until it's somewhat of a highball (probably around 25)to the crew change at McKerrow.
