Back in September of 2020 my daughter, Julie, and I were taking a trip to Covington, Louisiana. Between Denham Springs and Hammond, we were driving east on US Hwy. 190 which parallels the Canadian National’s Hammond Subdivision. While near Livingston, we spied this CN highrail truck with a flatcar in tow. I had seen these larger trucks on rails before, but wasn’t aware that they were equipped to tow railcars. Turns out they are. I’m told that they are capable of handling a few of them, depending on their loading. And note the loading on this flatcar.
My daughter grabbed her cell phone and captured this view when I slowed a bit as we came beside it. My daughter became a “railfan” that day, even if for only one event. 🙂
