Caption: A rare catch these days, CN 2118 and IC 1026 lead a 369 with all the power on the head end (no DPU). This is somewhat worthy to note, as earlier they had a broken knuckle near Grafton in hogback country; a common occurrence before, and the reason many tonnage trains receive, DPU's on the Kingston Sub. I've seen examples of both the 2100 series C40-8's and the 1000 series SD70's in use as remotes with 2200/2300/8800/8900 leaders, but never together as a lead and remote pair. Perhaps they can't work together in DPU, but regardless, a nice sight in a world flooded with wide nosed locomotives. Thank you Delic. 1337hrs.
