    Cool…one of the SD40-2′s that was modified for LNG testing.

    Why are CP and CN using the SD40-2′s for the weed spraying trains this season? Seems like a common theme.

    Is that some type of new guardrail in the west lot ?? Or just your camera angle..??

    @Brad, they use whatever junk power they have handy for these types of trains as they don’t rate the need for a GEVO or something large.

    @Bruce, pretty sure just the angle that Jimmy is on here. I was down there the other day and nothing seemed different.

    Hey, don’t be calling the most popular 6 axle locomotive ever built.. “junk”
    Its a classic and one of my favourite units to operate :-)

    As it turns out, yes, I went down there myself 2 nights ago and stood where James would be positioned, and I see how I became confused, once more [cripes] about what I thought I saw…
