VIA / SIXX test train with new Siemens equipment slows for a brief station stop in Brantford, passing the most photographed locomotive in southern Ontario. BNSF 2098 has been assigned to Brantford for over a month, and has attracted a lot of attention from the local railfan population. CN 4713 is now paired with BNSF 2098, replacing CN 9547.

    Very nice Rob, a sign of the times to come. Never thought I’d see a BNSF (B&N green & white GP40 (?)) plus CN b&w stripes with red nose. Thanks for sharing, John

    Thanks John. BNSF 2098 is a GP38-2.

    Very nice Rob. 2098 has been there so long it might as well be part of CN now!

    Love it. In 25 years many won’t believe these VIA units crossed paths with green BN units! Well done!
