This train came into Windsor the previous night as CP 340, but for the hand-off to ETR the CP yard crew used the ID T-42. Whenever CP brings a grain train for ETR they cut the rear DPU(s) off at Dougall, pull up through the crossover between CP and ETR, and once clear of the crossover an ETR crew backs on while the CP crew detaches from the head end. ETR then brings the train to ADM in Ojibway. It's a really cool operation to watch and listen to on the scanner. This usually occurs a handful of times every year.
