I am unsure as to why CP would be taking a unit train's worth of Canpotex empties north from Calgary up to Edmonton. **EDIT: This train goes east at Wetaskiwan.** I am also assuming that they are empty as there was only two units on the head end. But it was cool seeing a unit potash train go through Red Deer. Here the train is going over the highway 597 overpass just before entering Blackfalds, Alberta. I also apologize for the lighting, I had some nice low direct sunlight right before but a cloud showed up. You will also notice that I edited the length of this video severely, these unit trains are very long! CP 8938 (ES44AC) Leading CEFX 1054 (AC4400CW) Northbound, Mile 11 - CP Leduc Sub. Not the first time I have seen CEFX 1054 on a unit potash train. I caught it and 4 other locomotives working the fully loaded version on this train heading west on the CP mainline near Eckshaw. Only that time it was a DPU pushing in reverse on the rear end of the train. Here's that video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-3a7gFAIdw Disclaimer: Cameras and operator did not encroach on the line of the right-of-way or trespass on railroad property in making this video.
