Canadian Railroads > Class lights lit = checkDate: 06/30/15 12:08 Class lights lit = check Author: Mberry CN 720 had a nice zebra striped cowl leading (CN 2404) with its green class lights lit as it passed through the VIA Dorval station late this morning. Trailing were CN 8918 & CN 2298. CN 720 is a crude oil train bound for Rivière-des-Prairies in east end Montreal. I had about 5 seconds to run in place and shoot this guy after parking, it was a close call!
Right behind him was VIA 32, seen stopped at Dorval in the second shot and leaving in the third. Michael Berry    Date: 06/30/15 12:18 Re: Class lights lit = check Author: tomstp Were those class lights on per rules ? I thought Canadian roads no longer used them.

On some of the BC Rail units the class light and heater fan switches were side by side, one chilly night I "adjusted the heat" and was still cold a few minutes later and eventually wondered what the "green aurora" was out the front of the unit. DUH!!
