CN Work Train @ MP 28 Edson Sub. RCM1 (?) CN 50554 Leading

Well this was a nice surprise. This 3 car flat car train with a Hitachi excavator on the end. pulls by RR 14 heading east. The flatcars had rails on them so this train was being used for reclaiming rails all lead by RCM1 (don't know if this is the actual name for this machine) CN 50554. Shot @ 13:30 on October 24th 2011.

ahh no way. i operate that hitachi. i cant understand how people like you find this so fascinating. Its just a track unit pulling 3 flat cars in which an excavator picks up materials and puts down materials. like ties and rails. so far from a train this consist is, that vehicles have the right away at crossings.
