Would You Believe Me If I Say It's Now RARE To See THESE Leading Trains?

Описание: Watch two CPKC trains go through crossings in a cold afternoon, each with older CP ES44AC leaders! Believe it or not, it's been getting much harder to see these ES44AC GEVOs leading trains on the Cartier sub with the new CPKC Tier 4 units taking over the lead on most trains, especially the intermodals. They also started putting the Tier 4s on trains that aren't hotshot intermodals. While these low numberboard CP GEVOs and other non CPKC paint locomotives might still be common in certain areas, it's a rare occasion in my area, which is quite shocking and unfortunate.
