Incomplete list of recent reports and videos about the British empire’s (Commonwealth of Nations) Canadian train shenanigans within Canada, Mexico and the United States!

In April 2023, Canadian Pacific merged with Kansas City (now known as CPKC), creating a rail line that runs from Canada to Mexico;

Just days ago, Canadian National, Union Pacific and Ferromex agreed upon new Canada-Mexico-United States train schedules.

On 24APR2023, the ‘new’ CPKC issued this promotional video;

U.S. container ship company reveals it is part of the new Canada-Mexico-United States logistics operations.

Wisconsin based Schneider National Logistics Company reveals it is part of the CPKC Canada-to-Mexico operation.

Mexico wants CPKC to join three projects connecting three Mexican states by rail.

On 04MAY2023, Union Pacific suddenly asks court to overturn CPKC merger!

ALBERTA: Canadian National Railway (CN) train filled with grain derails, damaging CN’s main East-West rail line in Canada;

BRITISH COLOMBIA: The new CPKC makes deal to haul coal from BC, claims it is about reducing emissions, making the supply chain more reliable, and that it is necessary for a low-carbon future (supposedly because they will be using hydrogen powered engines, the coal is going to be used for the Canadian steel industry)!

ONTARIO: CN train derailment in Kingston, police and fire on scene.

Revealed; CN train carrying ‘dangerous’ materials, causes bridge to collapse!

QUEBEC: CN train ‘incident’ kills employee in the Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles borough!

Idaho Wild Fires 2019: MD-87 water bomber, new King Air FAC

The fires keep burning in eastern Idaho.  Things got so hot today that evacuations of ‘non-essential personnel’ were ordered near the Idaho National Laboratory’s nuclear jet engine and EBR-1 nuclear-disaster-reactor,  due to the rapid expansion of the ‘Sheep Fire’ (about 85-thousand acres, 34398 hectares).

The Sheep Fire is just one of dozens of wild fires in Idaho right now so, once again, the little used Pocatello Airport was put to good use by water bombers from 10 Tanker Air Carrier and Erickson Aero Tanker.

On 03JUN2017, Alaska Air National Guard’s 211th Rescue Squadron, on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, got its first HC-130J.  It was such a big deal that it looks like all the base personnel turned out to witness the arrival of Super Hercules:
