CP 171, AKA Skittles |
| Description: |
Taste the rainbow! Two SD45 frames (former CEFX), a former GCFX SD40-2, and a Bluebird SD40-2 handle the 87 cars on DME 171 this morning. I couldn't believe my eyes, but I could believe that this would be the train which was heading right out of the sun angle.... |

CP 171 |
| Description: |
When I first saw this consist I threw on the four way flashers and stopped in the street to get this shot. And then I went to Glenwood with it! I think there comes a time when you just know you have to do something because there isn't always a next time in this hobby. |

A Classic |
| Description: |
Growing up with the Wisconsin Central, I quickly developed a soft spot for the SD45's. To still be able to see them, even without their 20 cylinder 645, is very much a blessing in todays age. Shoot em while you can, although too many people just ignore leasers, they are definately some of the neatest and oldest units still around. |

With the two EMD's cranking out plenty of power to keep the train at the 50MPH track speed, the chase got pretty interesting and decisions had to be made quickly. They looked good dashing through the countryside. |
