Almost... it's New Brunswick Southern, also known as NB Southern (reporting mark NBSR). :-)

Thanks, I always seem to confuse the two.

I would think so and the new EMD's will probably be 8875-8909.

In the charge letter they failed to charge me with a rule violation which is typical at CN. You are in the clear... :-D If there is no charge, no discipline can be shoved down your throat. It's just a scare tactic! I wouldn't be so sure about that. I was given 20 demerits for "events in the de...

One thing to never say on these forums is never (or something to that effect). There are always exceptions, special situations, field modifications, etc. I just bought a copy of Trackside on the Western Maryland (Morning Sun) featuring the photography of George Lielich. Mr. Lielich was VP Operation...

If CN practices what other class I's do, you should get the lowest level of discipline if this is your 1st offense. CN doesn't practice what other class 1's do. They like to FIRE people for trivial things, like attendance management. Then had to layoff 2 days sick this last sun/mon because the cond...

I'm not sure how to respond to this post.. On the one hand, I hope it's a joke that someone is operating a train somewhere, who doesn't know how to operate it and resorts to the internet to find out. On the other hand, I dread to think that it's a serious question!! My BS detector is going off like...

Not if they weigh more than a GP38-2.

I bet they can use that on the E&N. P40's pulling RDC's. I can imagine those things bouncing along the weed-covered 85lb rail. Now that I would pay to see. I hear those things have a rough ride on good track, the crew better hang on for dear life on the E&N. VIA better put 3-point harnesses...

Will Ham perserve one? Maybe he'll have better luck with a P 40 than an F 40. I bet they can use that on the E&N. P40's pulling RDC's. I can imagine those things bouncing along the weed-covered 85lb rail. I hear those things have a rough ride on good track, the crew better hang on for dear life...

Not much metal to shave with.
Drop an EVO engine in it. Make it an ES40P and put it to work.
