Between Denham Springs and Hammond, we were driving east on US Hwy. 190 which parallels the Canadian National&#8217;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&#8217;t aware that they were equipped to tow railcars. Turns out they are.  I&#8217;m told that they are capable of handling a few of them, depending on their loading.  And note the loading on this flatcar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My daughter grabbed her cell phone and captured this view when I slowed a bit as we came beside it. My daughter became a \u201crailfan\u201d that day, even if for only one event. &#x1f642;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lacentralrr.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CN-Highrail-Truck-With-Tow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lacentralrr.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CN-Highrail-Truck-With-Tow.jpg\" alt=\"CN Highrail Truck With Tow\" class=\"wp-image-4204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lacentralrr.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CN-Highrail-Truck-With-Tow.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lacentralrr.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CN-Highrail-Truck-With-Tow-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lacentralrr.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CN-Highrail-Truck-With-Tow-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lacentralrr.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CN-Highrail-Truck-With-Tow-449x300.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in September of 2020 my daughter, Julie, and I were taking a trip to Covington, Louisiana.
