Les wagons sont chargés par transroulage à bord du "Griffson" et l'ensemble barge-remorqueur met le cap sur Whittier [Alaska]. 1, record 2, French, - Aquatrain

Le CN a baptisé du nom d’"aquatrain" sa barge porte-wagons qui fait la navette entre Prince-Rupert(Colombie britannique) et Whittier. "Aquatrain", marque déposée, ne peut être utilisé comme équivalent de l'expression "rail-car ferry". Selon le CN, la graphie veut qu'aquatrain s’écrive en minuscule, alors qu'il prend un "A" majuscule dans la revue intitulée "La vie du rail". 2, record 2, French, - Aquatrain
