    CN classic

    Although taken today, this is the same sight one could see 30 years ago in the 1970s. CN 560 is returning home light after completing its daily switching duties on the Watrous sub. Note the primer door on 4703, the GP38-2 is showing its age.

    GP38-2's and the YEOMAN BROOK

    A GP38-2 sure is small compared to a coal ship! The SCR/ex-DEVCO Geeps are helping load coal, which will be used to generate electricity in Nova Scotia. The Canadian flag in the foreground isn't part of the loop structure, it's actually a private house. I took this and other photos of the...

    CBNS 305

    I often saw CBNS 306 when I lived in Nova Scotia. 305 on the other hand ran later in the day, ussually when I ate dinner, so I didn't see him as much. This is one of the few days when I got lucky though. Note the loaded coal cars. The units were smoking hard, I had to move out of the way to...

    CP 1555

    After a recent graduation from the paint shop, this old Geep sure looks good. Today it's extra special, since instead of a GP7u/9u or two GP9u's, he's switching with a GP38-2, quite strange since it's not remote control equipped. It's only a matter of time before the paint fades and stains...

    CN 4713 GP38-2

    After leaving the Maritimes I was worried about not seing CN GP38-2's again, since this is widecab country after all. Thankfully CN has proven me wrong by replacing two GP38-2W's on the local wayfreight, with two GP38-2's. Don't really like the latest replacement though: SD75I+SD50F - just not...

    Power hour

    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...

    CP 3070

    CP 3070, one of many CP GP38-2's wearing the newest paint scheme 'Ingenuity'. He was much shinier when I first saw him behind a SD90MAC-H back in August: http://tinyurl.com/2s5abk Note the 'modern door' built into the window of the old shops.

    Welcome home

    Two GP38-2's return to the shops after bringing a 15 car cement train into town. Such lash-ups are very common in the area, working on a numnber of wayfreights and turns. At any given time there's at least 10 GP38-2's in the region (Wilkie-Sutherland-Lanigan corridor).

    CN's dirtiest

    The hardest working units aren't running the country's mainlines, they're in the yards switching 24/7. You're looking at a typical CN hump set: GP38-2 mother lead (CN 7500 even) HBU-4 hump booster unit aka slug (CN 500) HBU-4 hump booster unit aka slug (CN 500) GP38-2 mother trail (CN...

    CN 4727

    CN's Maritime operations have traditionally been well-known for their MLW's, however these days, all that separates them from the rest of the CN system are these guys - GP38-2's. Unlike other RR's (such as CP!) where GP38-2 heards are common, CN avoided this practice by creating three distinct...
