The Weekend

A few from the weekend. The other 30 photo's were all Stack Trains and who needs to see those...

Weird. The photos keep repeating themselves. I am not going to try to delete the duplicates for fear of deleting them all. I have a few questions which I will post up tomorrow.

I deleted em all and re-uploaded.

Thanks. Here are my questions.

CN 3260: Is it running long nose forward or is it the tailing unit in a rear DPU set? I ask because I seldom see three unit rear DPU sets pass through my town.

CN 3885: What does the 100 on the side signify?

CP 7051: Has the CP changed its shade of the red or is this just a unit that is cleaner than the ones in the other photos?

That's a NB running long nose forward. I can only assume they had power issues and that was the only unit available.

CN 3885: What does the 100 on the side signify?
CN's 100th year anniversary. Those are decals and will be coming off soon.

That is one of the re-builds. CP had all their old SD90's updated as SD70ACu's.

Thanks. I prefer the older, darker red of the CP, but time and paint schemes march on.

Great mix of power. Nice catch on the one running long hood forward.
