  5. CP 454

    CP 454

    CP 454 (E/B manifest+IMS, Sutherland-Winnipeg) is by far my favorite train on the CP PNL. Why? It fits my objective criterea: 1. Good timing, daily and always around noon 2. Good consist, lots of cars, a real good junk train - hoppers, gondolas, cente-beams, tankers, boxcars, platforms...

    CP/ex-SOO 6601

    The SOO SD40-2's were always my favorite on the CP roster, as they're owned by CP, but are unlike the GMD SD40-2's at the same time, not to mention they don't look as bad as the wrent-a-wreck SD40-2's, most of whom have left us. CP seems to like these units, as we get about one everyday. Maybe...

    IMS power

    CN tries to save on power anywhere it can, even outdoing CP with more one unit-wonders lately. Yet when it comes to intemrodal, its the power hour! Two CN SD60F's sandwtich a BCR SD40-2.

  8. "The king"

    "The king"

    CP 9303 is the biggest engine CP has at 6000hp. CN's got nothing that's even close. The four engines are anything but problematic however - this winter during a traffic down-turn CP chose to store them in favor of running old soon-to-be-retired SD40-2's! That's how much they don't like them, and...

  10. 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...
