Nice catch on the SAVX unit. CN acquired Savage Alberta in 2006, and this unit was a part of their fleet. Savage Alberta was headquartered at Grande Prairie, Alberta, which is 261 miles WNW of Edmonton, where CN has four other SD38s in use.
Great video package, nice to see some older motive power. I have seen UP running old switchers in their albina yard in Portland, Oregon. If my memory serves my correct I think it was an SW 1200.
They are not tanks cars. Those cars are called "Coil Cars" they are used to haul big steel coils. The load is covered because the coils conduct electricity very easily. And to protect the load itself.
very good
