  1. Wild horses

    Wild horses

    Two AC4400CW's return home light on the PNL, entering Saskatoon on the edge of town. Believe it or not the crossing you see at the back is one of the towns most busiest streets, 8th street, yet it turns into a dirt road after passing CP's tracks. The hill you see on the right, where someone is...

  2. CP 9044

    CP 9044

    Apparently CP has at least one TRACKMOBILE on their roster, CP 9044. Oddly he is in the same number sereis as the SD40-2F's! I've only seen one of these guys with CP paint, be cool if they put a multimark on it. LOL. About 10 minutes after the photo was taken he shoved 5 hoppers, including one...

    CP 3061

    I've seen this Geep at the Sutherland shop many times before, facing me long-hood forward http://www.railroadforums.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=40774&cat=500&ppuser=3391, but have now finally caught him working with sister CP 3112. Its amazing how a repaint changed the whole look of...

    CP SD40-2B

    Please do not confuse this with NREX SD40-2B's. Those are recently bought CP SD40-2's that have had the cab salvaged and B unit decals added, whereas this is the real deal. Back when CP started getting serious about locotrol, they decided to dedicated a batch of SD40-2 engines to the service. It...

  5. "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...

    CPR potash

    Looks like a lone ES44AC leading a 124car unit potash train. Yet if you look carefully towards the back of the train you can see a blue blur in between the sea of Canpotax cars. That's two CEFX AC4400CW's working mid-train.

    Brand new hi-rail

    Railfanning next to a MOW depot for three years I've managed to see all kinds of crazy hi-rails, so I can really appreciate it when CP throws in a brand new one. While I'm more of a fan of classic CP yellow hi-railers, the new stuff don't look that bad either. It was used on the Central street...

    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...

  9. CP 1501 + 1566

    CP 1501 + 1566

    CP 1501 + 1566, GP7u & GP9u of 50s vintage work the west end of the yard daily, inluding the IMS switching. Hard to believe that an industry as high-tec and precise as container logistics relies on this pair for major work, but its true.

    CP 1546 - GP9u

    One upon the time GP9's romed the country in roadswitcher, freight and even passenger service. For the last twenty years however they have been the backbone of CP's swticher fleet. Some, as 1546 are such dedicated switchers that they lack ditchlights and are fully remote controlled. I have to...

    THB is alive...

    THB is well and alive... in Saskatoon? That's right, seen a couple of these THB hoppers already. Taking into account that the THB was taken over by CP in the late 80s its pretty remarkable its still around and not patched over by CP. Oddly enought I visited THB's home this summer: Toronto...

    Remote control!

    Not sure how a pink SD40-2F sumbolizes remote controlled units, but I must admit this is one cool sign! Sure beats the one they have in Winnipeg. Basically chalk on wood. Here's the other side of the crossing that the sign is on...

    CP 1501 (GP7u)

    CP has a huge fleet of Geeps, GP40's, GP38-2's, rebuilt GP9's and GP7's? That's right, hidden in that pile of Geeps are about 20 rebuilt GP7u's of 1953 vintage. As there are so few of them, CP paires them with the more common GP9u's, not treating them any differently, which is a shame as it...

  14. Fresh toast

    Fresh toast

    Just when the GEVO era was beggining and everyone learned that an AC4400CW was a toaster, CP made a daring move and ordered about 100 more including lessors (CEFX). Less then two years later and CP 9803 already looks a bit burned. I do like the color they paint them in though. I doubt the...

    City boys

    CP GP7 & GP9 are getting ready to cross the street with about 10 IMS cars during a switching move. I'm not sure if they're 100% remote control, but the switchman is the only person I've seen there, he was riding the Geep steps prior.

    Brand new powerrr...

    I know CP is famous for running junk, seen it many times, especially the peeling 54xx SD40-2's. However this train is new-new-new. It makes the two year old leader look old, that's how new it is! Trailing the AC4400CW are two ES44's, CP 9803-8714-8725. First time seing the new GEVO's for me.

    CP 9803

    CP 9803, a proud member of the AC4400CW family, leads a potash train out of town. Note the number written inside the cab on the windows. I only it looks dangerous, but the locomotive was far from me. This is just an effect of zooming in and cropping. Here's the same yard lead with a Geep...

    CP Sutherland

    CP 1501, a GP7u and GP9u are working the west lead from the yard. That's right, CP still uses GP7's for yard services by pairing them with GP9's. The "mainline" is in the foreground.

    Sutherland depo

    Upon the containers and GEVO's passing by there's an old depo hidden in town. There's even two Geeps, a GP38-2 (CP 3061) and a GP9u of THB heritage (CP 1686) standing by.
