Canadian Railroads > GP20C-ECO's on the Expressway again

Last night I shot CP 133 (the Expressway) at Dorval with an all-EMD lashup which consisted of an SD40-2 sandwiched by two much newer GP20C-ECO's (CP 2276, CP 5935 & CP 2250). He was heading west in the siding (much to my chagrin) as an eastbound had passed on the north track about 20 minutes ealier, I believe CP 118 (second and third shots).

 Expressway into the siding?.. so much for being the hotest train on the railroad.. I guess they are living up to their motto.. "Delevering Yesterdays Freight Tomorrow" !!!!!...

Oh yea.. you cannot use hot and CPR in the same sentence...

I may not have been clear, but he was not delayed and had a straight shot. The Vaudreuil sub is 3 tracks to Dorval and then narrows to two. He was on the third track (I believe it's considered a siding) and crossed over to the north track just west of me.

 Thanks for the clarification...

In channel 8 those ECOs are extremely loud in the cab, conversation between crew members becomes a shouting match. The only good thing I can say about them is that they have good air conditioning!
