Canadian National Railway locomotives 2285 (ES44DC), 2920 (ES44AC), 5788 (EMD SD75I), and mid-train remote DPU 8853 (EMD SD70M-2) power a long CN manifest train M305 (Moncton, NB Gordon Yard to Toronto, ON MacMillan Yard) westbound through Berry Mills, NB hauling 142 cars (516 axles) of mixed freight and a good chunk of intermodal containers behind the DPU.

There has been so many containers to/from the Port of Halifax lately CN has been sending the overflow onto it's manifest trains on a regular basis over the last few months.  If the container business at the port keeps increasing, CN will probably have no choice but to add a second intermodal train to/from Halifax.
