CP 801 |
| Description: |
Drawed down at the rips, the new crew is on and ready to roll in a few moments. What a leader, sadly the UP will have them take the Belt instead of Robert St, so the trashy 18 will be the new lead unit. |

CSXT 2476 |
| Description: |
After overhearing the runaround planning, I was quite peeved. Yet another spartan cab leader screwed out of the lead, its getting tough to bag them with any confidence anymore. The UP had congestion on the other side of Robert St, so the coke train had to run around its train on SOO 2 and then head into the Belt with the AC44 on the point. And it was at that point that I went home for some much needed rest. |

Having shot this unit a little over a year ago in YN2 at Saint Paul, I was happy to see her again in new dress. |

A good second day of the year it is! After just stunning myself earlier in the day (well, yesterday) with the SD50-3 at Roseport, I find these two waiting for a new crew on Bluff One. |

An SD50-2/SD60 combo was the power on this Ethanol train tonight. About the only time you can shoot spartan power on the mainlines of the BNSF up here anymore is if its not a BNSF engine! |

A closer look at the nice pair of EMD's. The former Milwaukee Road diesel house stands tall in the background. |
