First...
3/5 trains that were waiting to head out west. CEFX 1012 with another CP AC4400CW on an intermodal, and in the backround, CP 5707, SD40-2, and a GP35 slug, CP 1127, powered by CP 3027, GP38-2. Those two were switching.
Who says toaster are bad smokers? All I see is a SD90MAC smoking and an AC4400CW wondering what's going on. Seriously, both units were smoking, but the EMD made beast won the contest by far.
