CN is Canadian National which bought the old Illinois Central railroad about 7 years ago. Many of the older trucks and trains still say IC on them.

This is a track dept truck. I actually work in the signal dept. They were changing out an insulated joint that had gone bad. Once they get done, we get to wire it back up so the crossing signals work correctly.

Seeing something that heavy with a V10 makes me feel like my 9 or 10 MPG is great. Verizon in my area also uses F series chassis with the V10. I often think about buying one when they come up for auction.

The last crew I was with had a F-350 crew cab long bed. It was an 04 V8 4x4 with just over 200,000 miles on it already but the miles only told part of the story. It had over 7,000 hours on it. It almost never got turned off during work hours. These Ford trucks are unreal tough!

The company that serviced the "in ground "tanks at the truckstop I worked at had a 99 V10 with 280000+ on it, mostly city. That was a key factor in me trusting the longevity of the engine. They told me it had been flawless for them.
