    Canadian National #2259 Southbound by the old J tower. I was told this tower will be torn down when the tracks are turned from 1 main to 2. Photograph it while you can.

    "The Brick"

    Yep, thats what they call it, "The Brick." Look at the lettering under the road number. Looks to have been a GP38 in another life. Walked up on this sitting in Portlock Yard (Chesapeake, VA)

    Flying the Green Flags

    A snapshot of the old CN S3 that roosts at the P&H elevator in Moose Jaw. It's flying green flags, but not heading a section of anything. I think thoes are Saskatchewan Roughrider flags, actually.

    GEVO on the Expanse

    This, while not a very good photo at all, depicts something interesting, so I'll post it despite it's quality. CP 3094 leads CP 8858 back into Moose Jaw. Apparently the GEVO was down in Assiniboia to celebrate the opening of a grain elevator.

    The Three General Electrics

    CN's primary choices- C44-9W, C40-8M, and ES44DC. It has been said that the CN ES44DCs are having engine problems...Perhapd Hunter Harrison can't understand the 'Quick start' environmental systems in the engines? I can see the CN 115 again, so it must be Spring now.
