I keep seeing pictures and videos of INRD locos pulling CP pacific trains on the CP River Sub in Minnesota, anyone know why that would be? I did read that they haul coke to Indiana but i did not know they did that, just wondering if anyone knew more about this. !*don-know!*

Part of it is dedicated coke (when they're running up to Roseport), part of it is horsepower hours...

No 60s or 40s, but the SD9043s are a different story. See them from time to time...

These are all from 2013...
