New Locomotive Begins Test Runs
In preparation for the introduction of a second daily passenger train, the Carleton Railway has been purchasing new equipment. This newly painted and lettered locomotive was added to the railway's fleet of diesel locomotives during December. 
The newest Carleton Railway locomotive, an FP7 complete with QSI sound, pulls a shiny consist of streamline passenger cars as it coasts to a stop alongside the picturesque Nortondale Station. Directly across the tracks from the station is the Carleton Railway's famous "Nortondale European Resort." Railway management authorized the purchase of new equipment in preparation for the introduction of a daily passenger and mail service to Montreal, with the expectation that the new service will do very well in competition with the ICR's Atlantic.

Ha! I've been told that the ICR passenger service is a joke. Oh wait, you told me that!
The new power looks good (even though it's an F unit).
We're looking forward to our annual trek - looks like it'll be Feb. 20th this year. Is that day still ok?

Yes, it is the Carleton Ry's first EMD unit. It was a hard choice, but the Intermountain units look/sound so good.
Feb. 20 sounds great--I'll look forward to the annual visit.

Love those F Units Steve.
Look forward to running the passenger trains when we visit next month.
You need more of them though.
Happy New Year

Yes Derwin I noticed that some F units have invaded your layout too. Scott is losing his influence.
