This is of BNSF #795 east leading a e/b stack train from Tacoma/Seattle area toward points east. He made good time up from Albus siding where he met a w/b Vehicle train (V-LPCPTL) and a w/b stack at Trinidad siding (S-CHCSEA). This spot is about 1/3 to 1/2 mile RR east of the east switch of...
IMS has seen massive traffic growth in the last decade, yet CN is scrapping theirs! These aren't old ones either, all of 1992 vintage. While CP continues to use 'ancient' in comparison flats of 1970 BLT, I believe I've also seen a couple '68's in the mix.
Note that they're all wearing safety...

CP's AC4400CW fleet is not HEP equipped, thus this flat is used to provide power to the Holiday train. It has to be the best looking in the fleet - ironic since its one of the oldest, of '72 heritage. Lots of them still around in regular IMS service, probably the oldest IMS cars on any Class I...

A long BNSF stack train heads down the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington side of the river. A UP stack train can be seen in front of the lead BNSF locomotive on the Oregon side.
A CN Stack train gets under way at a grade crossing in Matsqui, BC. The Eastbound train had to wait for a CP Westbound to cross the Fraser River bridge to Mission before it could proceed. I was hoping that a stray meteor would grace my presence but no such luck. Taken on August 15, 2007.
A refreshing break from all of the teardrop and widecab units, CN 5371 and CN 6014 head up a Westbound Q all on their own. A nice catch, if i do say so myself!
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...
CN C44-9W 2642, SD60F 5550, SD75i 5726, and SD70M-2 8023 speed the stack manifest eastbound. The trains are moving much faster without the bridge crews around.
