1:41pm CN 560, 4 hoppers

A couple months ago I posted this photo of CN 560 as "CN Classic":

Today the scene repeated with three Geeps! Two GP38-2W's sandwitching a GP38-2, all in classic zebra paint. Just like it was 30 years ago. Note that the first hoppers is an old Chessie cat! Now with WC reporting marks, although you can't tell unless looking at the original. Me thinks this beautifull lash-up brought in 548 last night - the only train left on the Craik sub. The train proceeded to meet another classic zebra odd-pair, GP38-2/GMD1u lash-up coming home from industrial switching, just like all those Dash 9-44CW's, SD75I's and other modern stuff doesn't exist.
Saskaton sure looks industrious with this backdrop, in reality city limits run right behind CN's main!
