A CN unit train of tank cars approaches Kampo Rd. as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 29 Mar. '19. Train had three locomotives, CN 3837 and CREX 1517 pulling as well as CN 3807 pushing. Consist included four head-end buffer cars, including a pair of SOO 3-bay covered hoppers sporting 2 variations of the wheat paint scheme. The paint scheme is often referred to as "sheaf of wheat" or "shock of wheat," but one stalk does not a sheaf nor a shock make. I have also heard it referred to as "wheat stripe." |
