Hmm. Maybe you don't want to use the phrase that they "rolled" through town. . . unless, of course, no one was on them and they actually DID roll through. . . Nice to see MM&A put together a nice matched set of power, knowing the media would be out in force. . .

By any chance are they the five locomotives from the derailed oil train that stayed on track and rolled through town. It just seems strange that a test train needs to have five locomotives unless they need a certain weight to test the track and bridges etc. If they are from the oil train, they would merely be finally going back west to Sherbrooke for servicing.

Rolled through town at 10mph with an engineer and a conductor with railroad and Transport Canada officials at every level crossings.

I would hate to be that crew, talk about having all eyes on you.

Andrew I have to agree with that comment.

Those five units are not the five units that "rolled through" during that tragic event. I would also agree about not wanting to be a MM&A worker on this train!

Would have been hilarious if they'd derailed on an icy crossing and walked over off the rails.
