Railpictures.ca - Tim Stevens Photo: FPAB. While all of you guys in Ontario are enjoying your FPON, we’re starting to get some foreign power out west on the coal trains from the BNSF originating in the Powder River Basin. Today’s train featured CP ES44AC 8827 and BNSF ES44AC 6412 on the headend with CP ES44AC 8822 shoving on the rear. Both CP units are currently leased to BNSF, which perhaps eliminated the chance of a solid BNSF consist. On the headend of the 107 coal loads are 54 grain loads from Grande Prairie, AB which were lifted at Swan Landing, 30 miles to the east. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
