Canadian Railroads > Railfans' Best FriendDate: 06/28/20 06:55 Railfans' Best Friend Author: cn6218 Or "Weed Whacker", "Brush Cutter" and possibly some other monikers.
CN seems to run them far too infrequently IMHO, although I was pleased to see that something has been done in the last few days at one of my favourite locations, near mile 9 of the Bedford Sub. This implement of destruction was photographed July 12, 1997 at Ocean Terminals in Halifax, NS. GTD Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/28/20 09:45 by cn6218.

One spark from those metal blades hitting a rock and the whole place goes up in flames.
