Could someone confirm that there was a MRL engine leading the CP coke train about a week or so ago. I saw it through a snowstorm sitting on a siding south of Hastings and I swear it was a MRL.

I've seen them a few times recently around Pig's Eye. Not sure if it is leasing to the INRR (who originates the coke trains) or something else.

I'd guess it's a remnant of the "Hannah Montana" trio that was running around over the summer. I caught MRL 265 a couple of weekends ago sandwiched between a CP GE and a Soo SD60 - not sure what's going on with the other two.

MRL 251 and 265 were in a huge power string at Pigs Eye on New Years.
