BC Rail Cowl Trailer

Continuing to wind my way up US51 alongside the IC main line, I reached Centrailia and there deiced to stop and hang out figuring that with three RRs, there'd be a decent chance to see *something* passing through.

 

Of course, it was dead for an hour plus!

 

Finally an NS 224 toned up the IC....errr CN...dispatcher to head west and was told that it would be "after one north and one south" -- FINALLY! Some action. Plan was to shoot the two on the IC and then 224 and then follow 224 west/towards home.

 

Then came the sorthbound with a BC Rail Cowl trailer, which I am told was an A432. This spurred the following thoughts: 1) Shoulda kept going north, 2) I won't be following NS 224 west, 3) Why don't I ever see one of these lead?

But, at least it wasn't rainy and gross like the last time I saw one - www.flickr.com/photos/21820430@N02/30062645527/
