Hi-Rail

 Canadian National Railway (CNR or CN Rail) is in the midst of a major wood tie replacement project in the Halifax area. I have noted some interesting Hi-Rail (or Hy-Rail) vehicles working here, including one that I spotted for the first time today.

This extended cab Freightliner CN # 270318 fuel tanker is fitted with Hi-Rail gear, allowing it to go to remote work sites to refuel equipment. (It is carrying 1202 hazard placards for diesel fuel.)

Most tank trucks are difficult to identify from a distance but this one conveniently carries Seneca Tank mud flaps. The company Seneca Tank Inc is based in Des Moines, Iowa and sells new and used tank trucks world wide.
