CP 183

How Times Change
Title:  How Times Change
Description:  Not too lmng ago, this Dresser Turn would have either two SOO SD60's or three CP SD40-2's. Not too long ago, the 7003 still wore BNSF patches and was a mainline mainstay. Not too long ago, the two trailing SD40-2's were both hauling for Pacificv, the 6212 CP and the 6458 UP. Not too long ago....

K444-13
Title:  K444-13
Description:  After a rather slow day, I was thrilled to hear the RA pipe up and call the HLCX 7177. After Amtrak goes East, okay to pull up to Clarke Jct. and head on the NS. At the time I figured this might be the last time I would shoot a blue Helm on CSX, and so far that has remained true. Don't think it will be changing, either...

O RLY???
Title:  O RLY???
Description:  Yes, really. I liked what I saw when the slug set rolled past and I could see just the air hose between the mother and the 8409. They dropped these four off here and went back to the yard. About 30 minutes later these four went back into the yard to get on their train. Cha Ching!

HLCX 8139
Title:  HLCX 8139
Description:  HELM has long been my favorite leasing company, generally speaking. And to think that CP is leasing a handful of them along with a whole slew of CITX and NREX's as well in 2011 still amazes me.

Q368
Title:  Q368
Description:  Hearing HLCX 8142 on the radio while at Markham, I scrambled back towards Cottage Grove and found him sitting at Cal Park waiting for a rack train to clear. Once he pulled up to State Line he waited for the tail end of an NS rack train before getting the light to head towards Cal Tower. Loving the leader.
