Eastern Railroad Discussion > What the heck is this doing on an Intermodal??Date: 04/20/14 12:11 What the heck is this doing on an Intermodal?? Author: Ohiorailfan Was my response when I got a text about a CN GP40-2LW on 26N. I made my way down to Lockbounre, Ohio to find it shoving into the yard. Word is, that it will be used as a yard engine

But if they are geared different an all motors are online then the lower geared motor usually leads, no matter what kind of loco it is. So yes in 2014 you could see a BNSF SD9 leading a techno toaster on a mainline train. Date: 04/20/14 13:39 Re: What the heck is this doing on an Intermodal??
