Canadian Turnpike
I was shooting a CP close to London when I heard RTC talking to M394 about meeting a westbound west of London. With the help of someone whom had access to ATCS, I was able to make it to McLeod Interlocking just before the train. When I learned why the signal set-up here looked so unique I was reminded of CP Turnpike on the CSX Pemberville Sub. Similar to CSX Turnpike and its relation to Interstate 80/90, CN lowered the heads here at McLeod when the Adelaide Street overpass was completed many years ago to increase sight lines for crews.
When this train rounded the curve I was surprised and saddened to see the trio of cowls DIT likely going for scrap. I was particularly sad to see BCOL 4615 as just a few years ago I chased it solo on the Flint Sub with Colt Jeffries.
Train: CN M394 with CN 3274 (ET44AC), CN 2946 (ES44AC), CN 5712 (SD75I), BCOL 4621 (C40-8M), CN 2406 (C40-8M), BCOL 4615 (C40-8M), and mid DPU CN 2908 (ES44AC).
