Big Blue on the Westlock Sub
A few years back CN's daily southbound freight A418 more often then not sported sets of older SD40 and GP40 models running conventionally. Lately the practice has changed and 418 is now set up out of Smith Alberta with a DPU and usually runs at max tonnage. On a sunny but crisp November afternoon, A418 passes the wooden elevator at Dapp AB with an ex. BC Rail C44-9W on the point. The trailing two GP40-W's are isolated and headed to Edmonton for inspection, while back in the middle of the train ex. IC SD70 #1012 shoves with all her might.
