CN unit grain train leaves Vancouver, BC for points south
Author: Marcus

This CN unit grain train left British Columbia for points south on Thursday evening.
Four CN locomotives, in a 2+2 arrangement, and an immaculate set of covered hoppers, all built in 2015.
The train is photographed on the BNSF New Westminster Subdivision,
just a few miles north of the border,
near Crescent Beach.

Really enjoyed your NICE looking shots, especially #2. The water looks really refreshing with all the HOT weather we've been having in the upper Columbia Basin in Washington State.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Leader = IC 2713
One of the hoppers = CGOX 5484 - Built 5/15

The last one of these trains came back with a UP leader, so likely switches to UP at some point.

Appreciate the sighting. Sad it is still so far north and will probably be night through Portland.

Thanks for that info Portlander!
Hopefully it gets delayed so I can see it in daylight. Or I'll have to wait for the return trip north.

For anyone that can look, how is this train progressing? Hoping for a daylight run from Mt. Shasta south.
