This recent coal train (NHB-31) had a unique engine in the trio, a 4300 hp Canadian National SD75I, #5639. The "I" denotes a whisper or isolation cab, designed to reduce engine vibrations and noise in the cab. Foreign power has been rare on coal trains this year. The middle engine is NS 2656 (SD70M-2), and the south engine is NS 9895, the all common C40-9W.
