The city of Saskatoon is located in potash country, meaning unit potash trains, and subsequent light power moves from the mines to the city, are a common site. Whenever possible CP likes to tag the potash power onto a manifest, in addition to wayfreight power (typycilally Geeps) which work grain...
CEFX 114, SD90MAC is leassed by UP, however he is a common visitor in Saskatoon. Why? Because seasonally UP provides their own power for unit potash trains that originate in town and end up in UP's territory. Perhaps because CP was leasing CEFX SD90MAC's themselves until recently, they prefer to...

Branchline trains are supose to be boring, powered by SD40-2's on their last leggs and GP38-2's. Then this snake shows up! 4AC4400CW's with a ~124 car potash train, likely 672 from Vancouver. Normally empties like him get 3 engines, but he got 4, and they're all facing the same direction, which...
It's not very often you see 2 units with the same road number in the same consist. NS 7115 and CEFX 7115 are the first 2 units of train 350 as it leaves Raleigh, North Carolina.
Four AC4400CW's: CP 8569-8516-CEFX 1059-CP 9600 lead a 125 car potash train. Ussually three AC4400CW/ES44AC's are on the train, and they're rarely running elephant style.

We get many 124-140 potash trains through Saskatoon, most come through at night however. Although this one came before 4pm, it was getting dark outside already. I've caught the whole train on film, which will be posed on youtube in the near future, as well as more pictures (with artificial...
Two CEFX Leased AC4400Ws cross the Fraser River bridge on a beautiful October day. I was on a work train that had to wait for this buy to cross the bridge before I could cross.
Looks like a lone ES44AC leading a 124car unit potash train. Yet if you look carefully towards the back of the train you can see a blue blur in between the sea of Canpotax cars. That's two CEFX AC4400CW's working mid-train.
Six Locomotives on one Train...CP 9636, CP 8632, CP 8519, CFEX 1019, CP 8743, CP 8543, Waiting for a through train on a siding in Indian Head, Saskatchewan.....I have never seen that many Locomotives on One Train Before.
Now I'm sure most of you have seen my many photos of CN 115, but CN 115 ain't the only train with junk up front in Saskatchewan! 2 AC4400CWs head a Westbound at Dayfoe, Saskatchewan.
I had fun on my MRL F45 Great Adventure. I was in search of a MRL F45 on the Seattle Sub that another foamer had given us the heads-up. Well, we did catch some other trains in the mean-time. Here is the CEFX #103 at MP111 crossovers.
