Was headed East of Chatham to shoot VIA 73 at CN Northwood when I looked to my left and saw CN 439 with both units running long hood forward; with nothing else to do I turned around and headed West to catch it leaving town just passed Ringold Diamond. As of now this lash-up may be rather stale to the railfans of the area but the day will come when sights like this will be a thing of history.
