[quote]QUOTE: <br />The lack of power pooling between CN and CP is not too surprising. When I visited the Lakehead area in 1976, I noticed that an overwhelming majority of the freight cars in any given train were for that road, which suggests that there wasn't that much interchange between the two roads. I was more likely to see a car from a US railroad than from CN on a CP train. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I gaurantee to you that (down at roberts bank) there are never CP spine cars on CN intermodal trains and never CN spine cars on CP intermodal trains, it seems to me that those two railroads just don't share. Bitter enemies I suppose. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br />Oh and mac, I even caught a pair of CP SD40-2's down here! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Lucky guy! Those things are getting more and more rare over here. I saw a few on the front end of a CP intermodal train a few weeks ago, but they don't appear down at the bank too often. <br /> <br />Down at Roberts Banks CP is almost exclusively running the AC4400's. <br /> <br />A few times I've even caught a consist with 2 SD40-2's and an AC4400 (intermodal train). <br />Damn those things are big when they're next to a couple of SD40-2's.
