During a railfan trip to Belleville on February 11, CN No 368 at 0920 and CN No 372 at 1015 had some interesting freight cars on board. Time for another pop-up post!

ReplyDeleteI like the Boston and Maine one the best - a nice find.
Has the Havelock operation affected Belleville's at all?
ReplyDeleteRyan and Steve,
ReplyDeleteEveryone likes those little B&M cars. I thought I was seeing things the first time I spotted them in the yard while passing through aboard VIA.
It seems that CP (Havelock) and CN (Belleville) are still both loading roofing granules. I'm not sure of the percentage of each currently, but the fact that these little fellows are still arriving shows it's still happening in Belleville.
Thanks for your comments,
Eric
I love the GT wet noodle autorack. Reminds me of the huge trains rolling through Sarnia and on the CSX Sarnia Sub. I saw one of those old GT autoracks over the summer but was unable to get a proper picture. Glad to see it captured for posterity!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the blue colouring, too. Yesterday I caught a nearly pristine green Burlington Northern Trailer-Train auto rack. A favourite 'fallen flag' like GTW!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Michael.

Very interesting that Sultran sold some of their steel bathtubs to Residco. Found this on their website, looks like they bought 78 in total. The numbers you saw indicate they come from both Sultran's original 1000 series purchased new and the ex-CP coal gons in the 3000's series.

Thanks for sharing Eric.

Thanks for the link and Sultran information, Ben. We have been seeing some *interesting* bathtubs along the Kingston Sub recently. This was my first sighting of the Sultrans. Interesting that the residco page doesn't seem to include reporting marks.
ReplyDeleteI love sharing posts like this - especially when they're appreciated by fellow rolling stock fans!
