Railpictures.ca - Bill Thomson Photo: After a day of plowing in Ontario snowbelt country, a CN plow train rests back in front of the station at Stratford. CN plow 55408 has plenty of power behind it, pushed by a trio of frozen looking GP9′s (4593, 4561 and 4568). A snow-covered van punctuates the rear of the train, although if the crew inside of it could see anything going on ahead of them is anyone’s guess. For another view of CN 55408 (that later went GEXR) plowing on the “Bruce branches”: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=13997.
