Canadian Hotshot
CN Q194 (Chicago,IL-New Orleans,LA) make a mad dash south on the CN Yazoo Sub through the small Mississippi Delta farming community of Lake Cormorant (MP-20.4) passing the southbound grain train sitting in the siding. As tradition through Canadian National's successor Illinois Central, their were only two hot Mid-American Intermodal that run on a daily bases through the full length of the system in the IC days, Q194 seen here heading for the Big Easy for the Gulf Ports, and counterpart Q195 that runs north to "Chi-Town" the busiest Transportation Hub in America in fact these two Intermodal trains has, and still critical on the CN Central Division.
