QUOTE: Originally posted by CSXrules4eva Seeing that CN locomotive is most certainly strange, in the southeastern parts of the states. I even think it's somewhat strange to see a CN unit anywere up by where I live in the great state of PA. However it's not uncommon over by my area to see some CP action. I'm going to assume that the two locomotives in the back of your 200 car train consist were most likely helpers. What kind of engines were they, and was this CSX???

QUOTE: Originally posted by uspscsx The other day while railfanning, I saw a freight train, which looked like it was heading into the yard, so nothing too special. But then came the rear of the train. There were two locomotives on the rear. I didn't happen to catch the front, so I don't know if there were locomotives there as well. So either they were backing the 100-200 car train back into the yard(It was about a mile or two from the yard entrance) or those were on the rear helping. (Assuming there were locomotives on the front.) Do any of you have a clue as to what they were doing? And if that wasn't strange enough, later I saw a CN locomotive on a CSX intermodal. That's the first CN locomotive that I've seen venture this far southeast. uspscsx
