Moncton Industrial Switcher - CN 537 - Rarely Seen Locations - Highway Crossings - Horn Action!

Moncton Industrial Switcher - CN 537 - Rarely Seen Locations - Highway Crossings - Horn Action! Franklin Spur, Humphrey Spur, Dieppe Spur - rarely seen locations in the Moncton area!

CN train L537 is a CN local train serving the industrial Parks in the Greater Moncton area. The train is usually powered by two (sometimes just one) EMD Geeps - often GP9RMs, GP38-2s, GP40-2LWs, and recently a GMTX GP38-2 has been working CN 537. CN 537 runs to the CN Franklin Spur (off of mile 128.9 CN Springhill Subdivision) and the Humphrey Spur (off of mile 122.3 CN Springhill Subdivision) about 2 to 3 times a week on alternating days. On occasion, CN 537 will work on the CN Dieppe Spur (off of mile 118.5 CN Springhill Subdivision) after working on the Humphrey Spur. Sometimes CN 537 also preforms yard duties within the Gordon Yard such as working the auto compound or at Cargo Flo.
