CN 527 is a transfer from Southwark yard, in the suburb of St-Lambert on Montreal's South Shore, to the main facilities at Tascherau. It often seems to draw a lashup of a modern unit plus a GP9, and today is no exception, with one of CN's recently-acquired C40-8s doing the honors. It's Thanksgiving Monday, and the generally sizeable train is shorter than usual - about 20 or so tank cars and a handful of gondolas carrying steel structural sections.
