    Lenny,

    Westbound. On the Kingston sub, except for local switchers, westbound trains are odd numbered and eastbound are even numbered.

    Train 369 operates between Arvida and Toronto.

    I know the NS units have operated east of Montreal but never thought to think they went up to the Saguenay area. Do you know how often they run 369?

    Lenny,

    I have seen this train Tuesday - Friday. Not sure about Sat - Mon.

    #368 operates between Toronto and Arvida, has Alcan covered steel cars, and usually operates behind Via's #46 & 64.

    On the flip side, I'm seeing more CN units on CSX trains between New Orleans and Mobile, AL. They generally are placed in a following position, but lately I'm seeing more on the point. BTW, occasionally I still see a black IC unit in the mix, though that's getting rarer.

    Nice catch on the BCRail unit Milne. It'll be a shame when those are gone.

    Judging by the blunt trucks I would guess an S-2.

    I guess BCR has given up some of their SD40-2's? I have seen a few in the red / white / blue scheme (which I really like) but they were HLCX. :confused:
