Would anyone like any toast?

Only CN could put a consist together like this... ES44DC, GP9RM, GP38-2W, GP9RM, GMD-1, and another ES44 as the mid train DPU. You can't make this stuff up:

At least the engineer got the ES44DC up front.  Could have been stuck with one of the others...

Heh, last week they ran a 571 from Belleville to Toronto... GP9RM, GMD-1, SD60. This is actually pretty common for the 571's (as required overflow freight mostly) as they'll use the train to ferry local power to Mac Yard for maintenance. It's quite a sight to catch a pair of GP9's working a road freight on a class one in 2014!
