    CN 5282, SD40-2(W) aka SD40-2W, sandwitched on an intermodal.
  3. Old meets new

    Old meets new

    How many Class I Railways still have a SW8 on roster, switching IMS? The unit has since been put in storage. CP 1010, SW8 slug, pulling an intermodal. Powered by a GP9u.
  4. 12 axle monster

    12 axle monster

    This 12 axle platform is just short of a load. I had to zoom out to fit it in! It was coupled next to a string of ballast hoppers and other flats. Oddly the one time I did see a loaded one on a IMS, there were no ballast hopeprs next to it.
  5. Steel Caterpillar

  6. CP power move

    CP power move

    Your guess is as good as mine here. I can see a SW series switcher, Geeps, SD40 series locos...
  7. GP9 smoke

    GP9 smoke

    An original GP9 smokes up while leading the local on the mainline. It's a regular daily train (exept weekends).
  8. My best shot?

    My best shot?

    I think this is my best shot to date. The sky and two Dash 9-44CW's (CN 2646 & 2587) made it happen.
  9. Slug leading

    Slug leading

    CN 278, GP9 slug, leads a local, with CN 7218, GP9RM for power.
  10. My first digital shot

    My first digital shot

    The first RR picture I made with a digital camera. No zoom, just aimed at what moved... Leading the local, original GP9 in everyday service.
  11. CN GP9RM

    CN GP9RM

    The view you'll see if you're being run over by a train. Shot from public property, obviously it wasn't moving. Looks a bit like a 2300 series ALCO with the short hood, round roof & no dithlights...
  12. BNSF local

    BNSF local

    BNSF's daily local (exept weekends), consisting of BNSF 1685 (GP9) and a Operation Lifesaver caboose. Only one car for today.
  13. VIA 692/693

    VIA 692/693

    VIA 692/693 lead by a solo F40PH-2. The last F40PH-2 ever made.
  14. SOO 770

    SOO 770

    SOO 770 has seen better days. Caught with 4 other CP/SOO retired SD40-2's. Owned by SOO, then CP, today its NREX 770, without the SOO logos.
  15. NS Dash 9-40CW

    NS Dash 9-40CW

    NS 9032 is trailing CN 5749 & 9433 on 304? This was my first foreign power sighting.
  16. Truck on truck on truck...

    Truck on truck on truck...

    I don't see this too often, but it happends.
  17. GWWD

    GWWD

    GWWD has been around since the first World War, maintaining Winnipeg's aqueduct. Today they operate 3 ALCO's, 2 RS-23's and a S-13, not to mention ancient rolling stock. Although they're self-seficent for the most part, they do have interchanges with CN & CP.
  18. GCFX trio

    GCFX trio

    Today when GE ES44DCs have taken over CN, while SD40-2s & SD50Fs are being retired in droves, its hard to believe that earlier this year CN was still leasing 50 Alstom SD40-3s, all ex-CN SD40s. Power policy sure changed quickly! Back in 2004 I managed to catch three trio sets working the...
  19. Nomad

    Nomad

    Fomer Ontario Hydro unit, reassigned to CP in 1979, then to CN in 1996, then back to CP in 2000, retired in 2002, sold to NRE. Caught with 4 other CP/SOO retired SD40-2's.
