CN 100 unit CN 3887 & CN 2253 lead a short CN 321 towards Turcot Ouest. With only 55 cars, they will be lifting cars at Coteau and Brockville. In just a a mile or two they will be stopped by a PTC penalty, an odd thing to happen in Canada, where PTC is not used.

    While PTC is not used in Canada CN still requires that the system be left turned on while our units are up here. Software glitches and other problems occasionally trigger a penalty brake application, and then you get to troubleshoot it, reboot it, and eventually cut it out if the problem can’t be fixed.

    Ah ok, they came to a stop and call the diesel doc. I’m not sure how long it took them to resolve the problem.
