CN had a Herzog Multi Purpose Machine in use in the Edmonton area in March 2016. An MPM is a set of old intermodal well cars, retrofitted to support a loaders on a track along the well cars with a rebuilt locomotive at one and, and control cab at the other. As the name implies, it can be put up to many different tasks. For whatever reason, this device entered ETS trackage and so it gets featured here. It was not for ETS use, and, when I was up this way next, ETS had moved a barrier and placed it across the track at the end of their track. ETS owns the track upto and including the 66 St crossing.
