CN 2417
Title:  CN 2417
Description:  Sister Dash-8s, both built in March 1990, have just finished switching cars for Train 531 at Port Robinson Yard. It's always cool for me when I see two diesels with consecutive road numbers. In their vast pool of locomotives, what is the likelihood of these two CN engines (that very likely rolled off the assembly line together almost 30 years ago, and have probably traversed a good part of the USA and Canada) finding themselves back to back once again - this time in Port Robinson.

Description:  What a treat to see (and hear) these fine Draper Taper Dash-8s at Port Robinson Yard. Two 'identical' sister locos, with consecutive numbers even.
