I see a lot of the same engines over at Roberts Bank all the time.

They are always on either end of 120 or so car CP unit coal trains. Wherever on earth they come from they must just keep the same locos going back and forth all the time.

A little more variety would be nice.

I saw a CP intermodal train the other day and that's about as much variety as I get....

Usually it's all CP coal unit trains with CN intermodal, sometimes the odd CN coal and CP intermodal.

On the IC near Thompsonville, Illinois, I'd see all the same engines on trains there. They may have been assigned to the coal loader (a conveyor belt, really) so they'd take trains up and down that area.
