GE C21MP on the road (Brazil)

Bridge inspection

Heading out to Riverview, examining the bridge. Really like the extended bumper out front, note that there's a tiny one on the rear as well. Good room for the spare tire - perhaps it doubles as a life jacket for water rescue? LOL.

Okay then...

If there was any unusual load, this would be it. It appears to be a Tandem-tandem Western Star of sorts and a Dodge pickup. It was heading east on a CN Manifest.

Sperry van

Who decided to show up to my favorite railfan spot in the middle of nowhere? Why the friendly forman of course. The crew (2 regular hi-railers as well) soon took off W/B fixing the CN TRANSCON.

Tune-up?

As the GP7u/GP9u switcher pair works in the background, this truck is visiting the Radio shops. He later had his hood open and CP employees working around the bed, so its likely not radio related.

CBNS hi-rail

Your typical plain-white shortline hi-rail, until you see this decal on the back. Quite clever IMHO, although a pick-up truck certainly doesn't qualify as a train in my log book.

Good morning

Two MOW workers discuss the upcoming grinding project, involving a LORAM Railgrinder along with other more traditional equipement pieces such as a tamper and broom. Note the trucks paint. It's classic CP Rail Systems, re-patched in the modern CPR flavor. That way the whole truck doesn't need...

Crossing Guard

This BNSF inspection truck was sitting at this crossing in Saginaw, TX for so long, he reminded me of the road crossing guards I used to have in elementary school. Photo taken September 7, 2007.

Work truck

A very common hi-rail configuration on CN, can be found anywhere doing anything. Back when I didn't have a scanner, sitting next to one was the best opportunity to hear what was coming and when.
