They're not quite on their knees, but 2419 and IC 1004 are down to about 20 mph as they crest the climb out of the Humber River Valley at dusk with 8000+ feet of containers on the drawbar.

  1. The track speed is 30 mph through the connecting track.

  2. Well, there was no threat of that for the head end anyway. Reminds me of the days the North End crews would pull the air on the ore train changing crews at Jane St because they figured South End hogs weren’t smart enough to stop in the right place. Salty was always furious about that.

  3. Haha, those north end crews were a pain in the ass! Salty is still on the rails at VIA

  4. That control box in the bottom left looks relatively new. At least I Don’t remember seeing it the last time I was out railfanning in the field to the left about three months ago.
    This isn’t the first time I notice that CN is installing new control boxes over the last couple of months. I anyone know why?

  5. The signal box is not that new generally speaking. Its was placed there when CN out in the dwarf signals that are just beside the locomotives. Previously, the switch that the locomotive is on goes into York#3 and was an LCS switch. LCS= Locally Controlled Switch, which was not controlled by the RTC
