Two BC Rail Liveries, ex EMDX SD60, ex CNW Dash-8, ex ATSF Dash-8, 3 Tier 4's, and an SD70M-2 DPU! (Ground Shot) Canadian National Railway locomotives BCOL 4653 (C44-9W), 2180 (ex ATSF/BNSF C40-8W), 5451 (ex EMDX SD60), BCOL 4642 (C44-9W), 2106 (ex CNW/UP C40-8), 2327 (ES44DC), 3033 (Tier 4 ET44AC), 3052 (Tier 4 ET44AC), 3078 (Tier 4 ET44AC), and mid-train DPU 8949 (EMD SD70M-2) power a long and late CN intermodal stack train Q121 (Rockingham Yard/Halifax, NS to Toronto BIT, ON) westbound at Chipman, NB hauling 164 cars of double stack containers. Only five of the ten units were online. It was a rough morning for the train crew as they had problems getting their power together then as they begun to pull out with their Moncton pickup at the Gordon yard, an empty 3-pak "rolled a rail" and derailed. As a result they had to leave about 35 cars behind and delayed them a further hour. Filmed at 8:50am, Wednesday October 26, 2016 at about mile 45.8 of the CN Napadogan Subdivision. Camera: Canon VIXIA HF R500 Unfortunately there was a piece of dirt on my lens.
