Canadian Railroads > CP RevelstokeDate: 11/11/20 11:43 CP Revelstoke Author: tomstp Just watched a container train going west with unusual engine spacing (at least to me) . It was 1+1+1+1. Is that a normal thing?

Monster CP Rail Train On the Big Hill in Field B.C. you will find a video of a 2x1x1x1 DPU'ed train working up Kicking Horse Pass near one of the avalanche chutes that is visible from the highway with 161 stack "wells" and 23 auto racks. Enjoy!

Thx, -j |
