CN sightings in Saint John 2006/01/17

At the Island Yard, CN 7000 and 7010 were making up the refinery/Irving Paper local at 0930. NBSR 79635 was already in position and they were collecting the last few cars. CN 2507, 2666 and 5696 were resting by the enginehouse.

Farther east/north in the yard, a crew was loading steel bars onto a car:


Later, at 1550 the three CN units above (2507/2666/5696) as CN 305 were collecting empty potash cars from the Courtenay Bay terminal. I took a few shots but the light wasn't great.



The numbers on 2507 seem odd. I wonder if it was in a wreck and was repainted?
