Welcome to our wonderful June weather in the Maritimes!

Canadian National Railway locomotives 2868 (ES44AC), and mid-train DPU 8103 (ex EMDX SD70ACe) provide traction for CN manifest train 474 (Joffre, QC to Moncton, NB) with 118 cars of double stack containers and mixed freight eastbound thru Berry Mills, NB.

This is my first time seeing a CN SD70ACe as there are only 4 of these units on the entire CN network, but unfortunately the weather was a disappointment with the rain and the temperature a struggle to reach 8 C.  I will try to see this unit again this week if the weather is better.
