Crude oil train U710 on CN's Kingston Sub with CN-IC-BNSF for power. I think this may be the same train that blew up in Megantic, following it's new routing to Irving Oil in New Brunswick on CN. Is correct, this train used to run as CP #606. Crude oil in unit trains on CP isn't new around these parts, but on CN... they've been late to the party:

What the heck are those things the train is hauling? Looks like giant concrete pipes.

Saw a similar train thursday in Dorval ( near Montreal ) with 2 CN units and one BNSF loco like the one you saw .

That was another 710 that came through the following day (BNSF was a GEVO on the 2nd train). There was also a 704 that came down the Bala Sub Friday, iirc, power was CN-BCOL-CN. Things are getting a little interesting on CN these days... shot an EJ&E SD38-3 on CN 332. That'll be this weeks TPP contribution.
