CN 100

Canadian National Railway is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and as part of that they are setting up exhibits in various places across the country. Today it was a parking lot near the Halifax waterfront and score of CN's intermodal boxes of all shapes, sizes and colours, began arriving, for the most part using CN trucks.

CN has a large fleet of impressively painted trucks -of all brands it seems - no two were alike as far as as I could tell, and I did not see them all I am sure.

All the major brands were represented, but not all were photograph-able due either to the tight spaces or the masses of people around the exhibits blocking the view. Apologies to Peterbilt and Volvo- their displays were just too popular!

I found most of the trucks on display indoors fairly unexciting. They were obviously demos and thus few had any custom paint schemes and there were no dramatically new models that I had not seen before.

It was a different story outside, where the trucks were supposed to be secondary to trailers or cranes or truck bodies, but they were real working trucks, and they were all Western Stars!

Then there was the parking lots where there were some real finds:
