Sub - 30 Sep 2008 Cam Leonard.
This impressive train photographed at Keith Yard by Cam Leonard on
Canadian Pacific's Laggan Subdivision was as long as the yard itself.
The brand new aluminum coal hoppers display TILX markings and are equipped with ECP (Electronically Controlled Pneumatic) brakes.
CP's mechanical test car number 66 was sandwiched between General Electric units model ES44AC numbers 8896 and 8892.
CP is expected to receive two coal sets equipped with ECP Brakes for coal service from the mountains to the Pacific
Coast.
