| Description: |
-86 negotiates the 10 MPH with three 3000-horse EMD's, which thankfully are not minorities on this stretch of railroad. A nice 40 body leads today, although no longer the High Hood it used to be when with the Southern. |

As the sun sets, 490 waits patiently on the pass for "precision" planning to occur. Westbound CP 6066 will setout a trailing GEVO for 490 to throw in their consist, and maybe, just maybe, make it to Saint Paul before dying. Probably not though... |

Return of the GCFX's |
| Description: |
Well, not really. The WC SD45 replacements were common place here for many years during the mid 2000's, but the other batch of GCFX SD40 rebuilds were CSX units for nearly eight years. The GEVO's came and so went the GCFX 3059-3102, but were then patched as CITX's and have been on CP since. So seeing an Alstom engine back at New Brighton was pretty neat, even if these CSX units were never really a fixture. |

DME 270!!! |
| Description: |
Hot, Hot like fiyah! A pair of grey/blue stripe CITX's lead the 2L-16E 1100 foot 270 through the pl`nt at Redrock. I had intended to chase this beauty till I couldn't anymore, and this turned out to be that "no more" point. Oh well, Im happy with this shot. |

A strange SD40, thats for sure. Ex SP, but that light in the nose makes you think twice about. |
