CN 399 stopped to set out 5 tank cars

This was my first time to shot a new SD70M-2 in daylight close up. All the others I've seen delivered to date have gone through in darkness.
The first shot is as he's in the yard making the set-off.

He then backed down onto his train which was just at the station where I was able to take a bunch more shots.

Check my gallery for even more shots of 8018 and the BNSF units.
