QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan Well I have seen a couple of time, CN running aluminum ingot cars loaded on a Chicago bound intermodal and the odd time even some boxcars on the Halifax to Chicago intermodal (different intermodal). CN seems to fiddle with their trains until they believe it works. For example, train 422 our region's supply train (Port Robinson to Toronto Mac Millan Yard) used to take frames from the Dana plant and head west but now 331 (Port Robinson to Sarnia) takes them but continues to Sarnia with them. That would mean that they would have had to drop them off at Aldershot before heading toward Mac Millan Yard for a Stratroy Sub bound train. Now I get specific about that because those large woodchip like debris cars carrying debris from Florida now heads on train 331 but used to be on 422 however, it sometimes comes on different trains that come earlier. Now as far as I know, debris would not be considered a priority and likely the customer wouldn't pay for it to be so the scheduling seems very to be played by ear at times.

If GM "killed the electric car", what am I doing standing next to an EV-1, a half a block from the WSOR tracks?
