Description:  This westbound was idling without a crew in the siding between Portage and Wisconsin Dells, but never moved in the 2+ hours we spent further west up the line.

CP 3017 leads a light power G64 as it arrives in the CP yard
Title:  CP 3017 leads a light power G64 as it arrives in the CP yard
Description:  Last Friday I grumbled that this unit wasn't leading southbound, and it was dark by the time they departed back north for Portage. Well, the power set was wyed sometime in the intervening week, so I got my wish! This time the local is light engine and will pick up a few cars off the WSOR interchange. There's also a string of over 100 sand empties for interchange to CP sitting in their yard, but this crew will leave those be. They were eventually picked up by a solo AC4400CW which came down on Sunday the 9th.

CP 3017 leads the G64 as it crosses Ontario St. (Popenfus')
Title:  CP 3017 leads the G64 as it crosses Ontario St. (Popenfus')
Description:  The 3000-series CP GP38s (especially with their original Canadian style cab-front bells) have proven elusive in motion for me. Too bad it's not still in the Multimark (Pac-Man) paint like it was when I saw it in 2007!
