A 725,000lb electrical transformer gets underway at the North Bay station after a long ordeal in the yard. Firstly, The lead units waere supposed to be 1735 and 1804 but 1735 wouldn't start so they used SD75i 2103 Instead. After they replaced The power with 2103, They found that their load would not clear a switch stand in the yard and MOW crews had to remove the switch stand. Once this transformer got to Porquis Junction, The power was switched out for GP40-2 2200 in order to bring the transformer along 6 miles of track that hasn't been used since the 80's. The Transformer is loaded on Depressed Center Flat KRL 300304 and it is destined for Hallnor substation outside of Timmins Ontario.
