CP 290 |
| Description: |
I was going to get an SD40-2 leading one way or another! After chasing the MITDM with the KCS bomb on the point, we ventured over for a much nicer sight, the 5970 still looking great and classlights to boot. |

Three Deuces proceed West as they scream into Dellwood. I wanted to chase, but it just so happens when you lock your keys in the car your're a bit limited... |

| Description: |
A chase that would take too much typing to explain pays off at 0656 as the CP 6009 steps into the sunshine at Cardigan East. I literally grabbed by camera, locked the car, and ran all the way to this vantage point with no time to spare. I wasn't even set up before he rounded the corner, but scrambled with the settings and got a shot that I'm pretty pleased with. I guess the 6009 is "THEE" power for this train, its the third time I've shot it leading this year. |
