With M306 rapidly approaching on the #3 track in background as seen from an almost empty Coteau yard, the crew of L536 job is at work retrieving an lone "Trudeau hopper", set out earlier in track QO67 by train G874 with an overheated bearing issue.
The problematic car will be promptly moved toward the assigned B/O track before 536's engines will be shut down in track QO44 and the crew head for the office to call it a day.
CN 7512, an GP38-2 modified back in 1978 from road to hump service, is now back on the mainline jobs with inside and outside cab cameras, microwave, fridge along with an IDU box, enabling train operation with a TIBS. It was still configured for long hood operation and lacking a cow catcher on either end giving a 25MPH restriction any time it was in leading position.
7512 was delivered new to Canadian National as their 5547 back in early 1973.
