RailAmerica has recently put the E&N up for sale, the PO&N purchased the railway and started operations yesterday. This photo shows the first PO&N train on the E&N, with GP38's 298 and 299, the Parksville turn leaving Wellcox yard in Nanaimo, BC on a overcast, grey, and just ugly day.

Not my route. Only beta testing for Chris Schawn, aka ENR3005.

Ahhhh...you're both ENR...I can't keep you straight!I wouldn't mind beta testing it myself...I used to live in Qualicum and have been over the route a few times IRL...even got to ride in the cab of the dayliner a couple of times. The conductor and engineer were pretty laid back about those sorts of things and would usually invite you up front if you took an interest.
