CN Heritage Unit! IC unit 3008 Plus Two Other Trains

It was a busy morning with lots of trains heading east out of Winnipeg on the Sprague subdivision. First up was a general freight train at Lorette siding... followed fairly closely by an oil train, which I also caught at a different spot on Lorette siding. Finally, I found a potash train leaving Winnipeg a while later and to my surprise it had CN 3008, the "heritage" locomotive decorated for the Illinois Central Railroad that CN acquired after it went private.
The video has the 3 trains in sequence, but if you're super impatient to skip to the IC unit, go to 01:50. You'll see three different views of CN 3008, from my Akaso "Go Pro", my phone and my video camera. I wanted to be sure I got it! ;)
