Trains aren't going anywhere.

These types of services are good for high priority traffic that is time sensitive.

Capacity issues alone are enough of a reason freight trains will be here. Railroads may lose time sensitive traffic but that's about it.

A few are already painted in the CN uniform so I guess the answer is whenever CN wants to paint them.

And see my previous post ...

Single stack container cars still is use are NOT new and are commonly referred to as spine cars.

For us at CN it's notch 3 for units not equipped with a self high idle feature and notch 4 for ALL locomotives when temperature is -30C or colder.

The fact that the very people who run trains don't want to go into management should be a huge red flag that the job is awful and you shouldn't do it.

CN has changed the seats, changed the positioning of the seats on the conductor's side, added a speaker on the conductor's side, added an overhead light, installed the hotplate and microwave, installed modern electronics above the fridge and installed th...

Conductors on CN in Canada that can hold extended run pools all year can do 120k+. Conductors on the spare board can do that as well but they have to be lucky enough to get a lot of the long runs.

Desktop control stands suck.

Straight up. No room for your legs underneath because of the air brake system.

The extra headlight is a higher intensity beam and it helps for better visibility when it's really dark out in rocky/forested areas. It also helps for better visibility at crossings. It does not rotate. All VIA engines have this, even the P42's. The extra set of horns is an emergency set. It is not ...
