Is this a new symbol or a detour?
New Symbol. Traffic is Seattle-Montreal via BNSF.
This is interesting. No doubt Canadian crews?
Yes Brad, Canadian crews. They take over at Sarnia or Port Huron
Issac the 162′s have been all over the map as far as origin or destination
Some Seattle, some BNSF Eola yard, some Memphis, and some terminate at BIT, some Tach in Montreal, etc…
Brad US crews do not operate into the border for the most part. From what I can tell there’s always crew changes at borders for Canadian crews in the country exept for border transfers that may come across and go back. (And even some of those are required to have Canadians in the crew pool)
Ha nice. CN constantly changing things up to confuse everyone, as per usual.
I wonder if this is traffic that used to go Vancouver-Montreal and then the shipping company changed unloading ports on the west coast. On another note, there was an EB double stack on the Dundas sub today that used the cowpath to go EB on the Grimsby sub. Had two CN units. Another new symbol ?
From what I was told:
149 set off a large cut in Paris the other day. They took 501′s power and sent it from Paris to Port Rob and back on a X330 and the power was resumed as 501 today.
Basically, a one time move.. unless this becomes more frequent. It would seem CN is serious about intermodal and moving the cars quickly to where they need to go. I wonder if any of this is a reaction to the potential of CP+KCS.
Interesting set of moves. Thanks for the info.
