Evening action at Saint John August 28 2009

A few trains for this evening are feature on this video, and here are the trains.

Train # 1: CN 7038 (GP9RM) doing a light move towards the Courtenay Bay just before CN 406 heads out.

Train # 2: CN 406 rolls east through Rothesay with 2639 (C44-9W) & 2266 (ES44DC) hauling a long 89 cars.

Train # 3: The daily NB Southern eastbound train arrives at Saint John, crossing Gault Rd. with 2318 (GP38-2) & a surprising 008 (ex. CN yard slug) hauling a good 44 cars. They are then seen later going on the wye at the same location

Just a FYI, the gp-9 is probably not heading to courtney bay. I would suspect it was heading to the refinery. The gp-9 is not a CN crew. And the potash terminal is serviced by CN 406. As well, the potash corp has its own Loco to do shunting.

Then they sure like to confuse me, because I heard that on the scanner. Oh well

Unless something has changed since I got laid off, it may have. Its kind of a weird set up down there, with NBSR running the yard and such. But CN still controls the tracks at courtney bay. But the line to it is NBSR. Next time your down there go to the next crossing down that spur, and from there you can tell if they go to the refinery area or courtney bay. The next crossing is where the "Y" is. If they go onto the "Y" then they are going to Courtney bay.
