Where did you see it ?

In Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This is a short spur of about 40-50 km from Ottawa to Arnprior, right to the back door of Nylene Canada. Head office is in New Jersey. Once weekly, a short consist of 4-6 insulated tankers delivers caprolactam (an essential ingredient in nylon and plastic production) to the factory. Hearsay has it that the caprolactam originates in Texas. CN owns the right of way but Nylene owns the track. Motive power is CN. To assure ongoing rail service, Nylene has made cooperative arrangements with CN to make the operation viable and sustainable. It is estimated that each week's delivery by rail keeps 20 large tanker trucks off the road. Another example of rail transport reducing net Greenhouse Gas emissions.
