Canadian National Railway locomotives IC 2722 (C44-9W), BCOL 4645 (C44-9W), and 8859 (EMD SD70M-2) provide traction for a long CN manifest train A406 West (Moncton, NB to Saint John, NB - aka JDI Irving Express) accelerating westbound at Allison, NB hauling 86 cars of mixed freight (mostly tankcars), and intermodal containers on a gray but at least a dry afternoon. At the end of this year, Tropical Shipping will be shifting from the Port of Saint John to the Port of Halifax so we won't see Tropical containers on 406 anymore. However, the Port of Saint John is currently modernizing the container terminal including two new post-panamax cranes that should help attract new business.
