The one nice thing about 255 these days is it often comes home looking like a unit coal train....something you have to go to Thunder Bay to see. Here, it's just finished the little climb into Galt Yard in wonderful late afternoon light

    Not sure if it is a result of TrAM or what, but the AIM loads are pretty consistently on the head of 255′s Hamilton lift.

    Very likely. Very nice looking cars since the new fleet has gone into service. Much better than the ratty crap they used before.

    They’ll be ratty soon enough haha. The 2020 and 2019 builds are already dented all over.

    Anecdotally, the older ones have been kicking around a lot more lately the past couple months as compared to the year or two prior. See one in David’s shot for that matter.

    It’s quite the busy place. I’d love to know how many cars they load in an average week. It’s easily over 100.
