When I started taking pictures, people whined about the lighting, so I started shooting from the other side of the bridge. Now all I get is Sunset shots! It get OLD after awhile! You can't even tell what the paint looks like on these things!! The 115 sports a pair of unCanadian locomotives.
A pan shot of FWWR 2015 SD40-2 "Butch Cassidy" as it passes through southern Fort Worth. It is returning from Dublin on a beautiful summer evening.
Three WC units after four years of railfanning CN's mainline... At least they're different types: SD45u, GP40, now a SD40-2! A WC GP38-2 should be next as they've replaced BCOL's beloved RS18CAT fleet on the coast and come through occasionally.
Don't let the paint fool you - before becoming...
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.

I planned for a shot avoiding the fence, but not for 2 chubby men on bicycles. Note the endangered SD40-2, 5381. The SD40s seem very common the crack trains as of late.
CN doesn't like to run molten Sulphur unit trains, preferring to stick a cut of 30-40 tankers on a manifest such as 346. Then again I have seen it once last year. The train was almost always parked @ CN's Fort Route yard (Winnipeg) when I railfanned there in 2003-05.
This however is either...
As these units are compassionatley reffered to on American roads. NREX 5644 is getting a ride back to Winnepeg with 5762 and 2672 after taking a shift on the Athabasca Northern.
