"WOW!" Power on Three CN Trains at Ackerville Yard

Sometimes it's worth nearly freezing your fingers-off to go catch a few trains. Today was definitely one of those days. Tipped-off by a Facebook friend, I found a spot at Ackerville Yard with some decent lighting for a northbound train that had some motive power I've been wanting to catch for a long time. What I didn't expect was the power on the southbound train before it, nor the unique DPU on the train after it!

Note to self (and other videographers): Always carry spare batteries! My camera said its battery was over half-charged after the second very long train went by. With the third train approaching from the south, my camera screen displayed, "BATTERY DEPLETED!". DOH! With seconds to spare, I popped-in the new battery and then caught a little surprise at the end of the train... in disbelief!
