QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan CN with NS' help (NS train) runs a train between Toronto and Allentown PA (335 to PA, 334 from PA) but CN takes it as far as NS Bison in Buffalo where it turns into a NS train. Might what you have seen be pool power? I think CN runs to New York City area because of the Central Vermont line but that is as far as they go to my knowledge.

Yes the 30T/31T are CN run throughs but they are NS trains with NS crews on NS and RBMN or CP rails. Since we are talking about employment here, there are no CN employees involved south of Buffalo. CN doesn't get into NYC. Even the former Central Vermont (CV) which is no New England Central (NECR) a Rail America property gets only as close as New London, CT a LONG way from NYC. LC
QUOTE: Originally posted by dougal 30T and 31T run from Montreal to Harrisburg now, the 12T and 13T run from Buffalo and Allentown, replacing the 30T and 31T. CP runs into Allentown via trackage rights. I'm sure NS will be hiring crews in the A-town area soon. CSX is pretty close to Reading and Allentown as well.

LC Doesn't or didn't CN run an intermodal from either Toronto or Montreal via th CV line into New York somewhere? I could have sworn it was a South Kearny NJ run.
