Canadian Railroads > A Smoker

Another Q122 showed up in Halifax, just after 8 am on March 4th, after a significant snowfall the night before.  These trains almost always just have two units, and no DPU.  SD70M-2 8866 was laying down quite a smoke screen of 2-cycle diesel exhaust.  Older, trailing SD75 5788 was much better behaved.

Q122 and 123 trains have been sporadic into and out of Halifax for the past few months.  But with new conductors qualifying soon, and Z120 running near capacity (the train 2 days ago had 650 axles), it s speculated that they will become a regular thing again.

Great saturation in tough light.
