Title:
CN 1501
Description:
I thought I was in a Twilight Zone episode...but it's November 22, 2018 - What a totally pleasant surprise coming into Port Robinson this morning on the Stamford Subdivision. CN 1501, an RDC (Rail Diesel Car) converted to a Self-Propelled Track Geometry Car, was originally a CN RDC-1, labelled D-108, built in 1958 for passenger service. As an RDC-1 it had coach seats only. All RDCs, except for the RDC-5/9, have two diesel engines driving the wheels, so they are self-propelled and have operator controls at each end.

CN 1501
Description:
CN 1501 - built in 1958. Today, identified as Train 999 by the dispatcher, I caught the train first here, coming into the yard at Port Robinson, then drove around to the south end for a shot into the yard as it lined up near the yard office. I missed it coming out of the yard, but after a very lively chase, caught up to it again approaching the Brookfield Wye, where it was headed to do some track testing.

CN 1501
Description:
A rare sighting of CN track inspection vehicle. I chased this RDC for miles but could not get in front for a better pic. - and had to settle for this going away shot. It's really scooting along here as it heads towards Southern yard. I think they were actually trying to outrun me!
