An eastbound Canadian National coal train is between Mercoal and Coalspur, Alberta, heading toward the junction of the Foothills Subdivision at Parkhill Junction on August 8, 2016. This train is the third and final section of a coal train loaded at Teck’s Cardinal River Operation near Cadomin. The 50-car train is set up 1+1, with GE ES44AC No. 2900 on the lead, with sister ES44AC No. 2958 set up as a rear DPU, and will combine with the other two sections at Bickerdike (near Edson). In this view, rear DPU No. 2958 trails the train into several more horseshoe curves before reaching Coalspur.
