Joseph, great picture ! Using a drone gives a totally new perspective of Branford’s grand railway station and the railway yard. The size , impressiveness and elegance of this station is most striking, and it’s even more impressive that it is still in daily use. Question, how does CN let a diesel to run out of fuel with the electronic tracking devices available ? And why is there no diesel fuel facility in Branford , or at least a stand-by fuel truck? Thanks for posting, John

Hey John, the CN units in Brantford are fuelled with a fuel truck that comes in whenever CN calls for it. I guess on this day the units were already out on the road when it came so they ended up running out of fuel!
