The train is CP train 286, St. Paul to BRC Clearing Yd. Between St. Paul and Chicago it is almost more common to see foreign power leading than CP.
CMStPnP Question: The train identifies as BNSF on CP Rail tracks? Is it a run through or is that because of the lead locomotive paint?
The train is identified by the lead locomotive, as well as the train's symbol. Whether you hear both in transmissions is another story. So you might hear "BNSF 1234, 99X" or however a given railroad symbols its trains.
