  1. Yard Limit

    Deadhead Locomotives on the Southwest Chief

    Locomotives can deadhead on trains for several reasons. In this video we first see AMTK 457 deadheading to Chicago to become part of the METRA roster. AMTK 505 makes its way through the 505 area code on its way to the Beech Grove maintenance facility in Indiana. Sometimes the deadhead didn’t...
  2. Saskatchewan?

    Saskatchewan?

    With the right framing, Saskatchewan sure looks like remote Northern Ontario. Those steep hills, I mean flat Prarie, doesn't help. The last of this year's snow is melting away in the shadow, as freshly painted CP 5943 heads an Intermodal west to Calgary. 2:55pm CP 457 on waterbridge (MP...
  3. CP Saskatoon

    CP Saskatoon

    Perhaps I can talk my dad into making this his new fishing spot. There were fisherman and pelican's all over. With intermodal up front, 457 looks like a mainline train from the good-old-days (pre-1995/AC4400CW era), not the regional manifest he is. 2:55pm CP 457 on waterbridge (MP 111.5...
  4. CP 3016 (GP38AC)

    CP 3016 (GP38AC)

    Finally managed a good GP38AC roster, just before the Geep left town for Wilkie, SK. This is my third catch to date. He may be wearing relatively new paint, but the primer on the roof says he's an old unit, the oldest un-rebuilt series on the CPR. In case you're wondering what's behind it...
  5. Canadian Tire box

    Canadian Tire box

    Very common load on nearly every manifest and IMS out of Saskatoon.
  6. Sutherland train city

    Sutherland train city

    This photo is for all you skeptics out there who think of Sutherland and the PNL as a secondary line without much traffic. You're right of course, but from the right vantage point, thing sure look different. CP 5951 is getting ready to take 457 out to Calgary as the potash and grain hoppers...
  7. CP Rail Classic

    CP Rail Classic

    Whatever happend to the classic CP Rail? Nowdays its all about GE's and intermodals. Good thing CP still knows how to put a show on the PNL. 3SD40-2's lead a manifest consisting of all kinds of stuff, including MILW gondolas loaded with pipe, a brand new DME hopper, and an ex-CNW and Union...
  8. Train 457

    Train 457

    Train 457 accelerates to track speed as it departs Ponoka for a crew change at Red Deer, AB 35 miles south. They had made a set out of the d/stack in the backgroud.
