What Was Yesterday, Isn't Today
With the majoritiy of the C40-8M fleet being stored serviceable and having a questionable future, this photo seemed appropriate to share. Having spent several hours working Flint yard, westbound L501 makes quick work of the small, quaint town of Morrice. During this time in late 2018 and into 2019 CN was experiencing a rather significant power shortage, so they leased several different types of engines. Everything from former CSX 8-40CWs to a group of SD60s in which, 3 were still painted from their prior owner being the SOO Line. The SOO unit came in the night before on an empty grain train, and when I learned that 501 had this engine set, it was an easy choice to drive and see it. A few texts to good friend and fellow photographer Kyle Korienek yielded me this photo. Sadly, this site will never happen again as the former Meal 'n' More Site shown has been completely demolished and is just vacant ground. The CN 2407 is most likely stored awaiting its fate and the SOO 6020 is no longer on lease to the CN. Just goes too show, that what was yesterday, isn't today. I would like to extend a big word of thanks to Kyle for making this photo possible.
