CN 3008 IC HU Leads CN M342 With CSX CM44AC DPU at Dale, WI! CN Neenah Sub
Taken on 8/1/24
Starting off August strong with another catch of a CN Heritage Unit in Dale, WI. I went on a family trip in Appleton and I heard that CN 3008 was leading todays M342 with a CSX CM44AC as a DPU and we just had enough time to go into Dale, WI and catch it there. We did not see any other trains that day since we wanted to get home early but I'll take anything that I can get and this just happened to be the one train for today!

Oooh, what a nice lead unit! I didn't even know that design _existed_ for WSOR units! The horn is a bonus. The leader looks like it could use a bit of cleaning, but then again, this _was_ taken during the last days of the winter!
What a *_CRISPY_* capture! I hope you're doing well, Alph. :-)
@@josephtrainonthetrack Thanks man! And I’m doing well! Hope you’re having a great day today!
@@alpharailroadproductions My pleasure! I'm glad to hear you're doing well, mate. I, myself, am having a great day so far, so thanks for hoping! 🎩👌🏻
I love how you can hear a quick double honk in the crossing sequence. I love quick horn salutes and I always know when I get one because I’m in a no horn zone
Nice catch!
Great encounter of 3008 leading! I got NS 1066 (New York Central) earlier today.

What’s up with them using B32-8s recently, I just caught 519 leading borealis
@@RailfanMichaelR.3103 it happens because of a power shortage in Chicago and no P42s are available so they use what’s available on the service.
