    Hello first time viewer. This video. This blue building is a smash hit. Yes Pike Stuff is the first thing that came to this viewers mind , 😄among your other viewers very well recognized & received. A CN fan & model train collector of CN among other railroads. Definitely want models of these engines also viewed. Awesome train video, well done. 🎥👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🔵⚪🔴⚪⚫

    Who is responsible for supplying the tie down chains and binders? The shipper or the railroad?

      Can be either. Customer can request cars with tie downs already on board or use their own.

    If they are going to use IC reporting marks to reserve the rights to them, they ought to use the IC paint scheme as well. Death Star all the way for me.
