Remarks & Notes |
A trio of SD60's lead an empty limestone train through the swamps of Zim on a nice Sunday morning. CN's latest experiment is to use a Distributed Braking Car at the rear of these limestone trains to assist in dumping the cars at Minntac by providing more air. The aim is to cut down the time it takes to unload a train. This will come in handy when it's below zero in the winter months and the train has trouble building air. |
