NREX 4403
Title:  NREX 4403
Description:  I can only imagine what the roundhouse guys were saying when they serviced this thing. With its crusty UP yellow holding on, and the CP marks bleeding through, the 4403 will lead a Class 1 train down the river in 2011. Unreal.

NREX 4403
Title:  NREX 4403
Description:  Still sitting Blue Flagged after an hour and a half of waiting. Much to my dismay 270 would sit here until it was nearly dark, and by that time I had already started home. Mistake...

At first glance
Title:  At first glance
Description:  I was just happy to see this straight SD40 body back on familiar turf. Then I noticed how hte patches were placed and realized that this was one of the rare STL&H non- Dash 2 units. Neat unit. It says SD40-2 on the side but I was un-aware that these went through any rebuilding program.

All in the family!
Title:  All in the family!
Description:  And no exceptions this time. This former CP SD40-2 is the West facer of four EMD's. CITX 3077 (Ex SOO), DME 6088 (Ex CP), and NREX 5542 (Ex STL&H/CP) all rest at the CP's Pigs Eye Yard. Crazy.

DME 277
Title:  DME 277
Description:  A sucker hole helps keep my blood pressure from rising as the former SOO Bandit bounces along on the classic jointed rail. Its crazy to think that those numberboards have been on that unit since 85/86.

DME 277
Title:  DME 277
Description:  I was going to just drive home as the cloud cover was not going to go away, but as I turned off on 22 the sun came out for a bit and intrigued me enough to go try a shot here at Mankato. I found this spot by accident, and although I didnt think the sun would last I waited just because. As the dyno's roared to life and the 6301 wrapped around the corner the sun came out and made me settle for this makeshift shot. Had I known the sun would pop out just in time I would have done alot better, but oh well...

Description:  Three NREX's..... Please, someone, pinch me! And the leader is a former SOO/MILW Duece on home rails after being sold over 20 years ago, with its original number boards still. Yup, I'm sure it mappened.

CP 807
Title:  CP 807
Description:  Something out of my sick fantasies, but maybe not? The actual power for 807 trotts over the former CGW Lift Bridge at Robert St for Roseport, where it may sit for quite some time due to the flooding.

Since The 70's
Title:  Since The 70's
Description:  Up until recently, anyone who is anyone and has been to this spot in Saint Paul, has shots of BN Green Dash 2's passing the Bluffs. Now with it being a nearly impossible task, I decided to get the standard shot.

NREX 7356
Title:  NREX 7356
Description:  These Ex GATX units have been on my "to shoot" list ever since CP signed the lease. I finally bagged one on Train 292 at Camden. This unit is no stranger to these SOO rails, after falling under SOO ownership in 1985 when the Milwaukee was pronounced dead.

NREX 9926
Title:  NREX 9926
Description:  Unloaded from the UP for quite some time, the 9926 still soldiered on with the BNSF at this time. Now, its almost certain to be on lease with CP. After that, this unit may very well be put to bed.
