Title:  CP 5922 leads a Dual Flags sister on a westbound rail train coming into town
Description:  CP's surviving unrebuilt GMD SD40-2s have been mostly relegated to MoW/nonrevenue trains such as this. I missed this duo pulling now-rare for them manifest duty a couple weeks ago due to being at work.

Eastbound manifest 280 lumbers toward the County Q crossing
Title:  Eastbound manifest 280 lumbers toward the County Q crossing
Description:  About a mile and a half east of here is the "Watertown West" control point, where a roughly 20-mile double track segment ends going east. This is the hold point for eastbounds that will be waiting on opposing traffic for some time (so as not to block this crossing as well as County K to the east), but 281 is just a few minutes away and thus 280 keeps coming, albeit at much reduced speed.

Title:  CP train 280 creeps eastward on an approach to Watertown West
Description:  Watertown West is where double track ends going east. It will take precise timing for this train to keep moving yet not reach the stop signal before the oncoming westbound 281's tail clears the control point.

Title:  Now EB intermodal 198 drags its feet toward Watertown West

Description:  Part of the second order of "AC4400CWM" units rebuilt from AC4400CWs, it's much shinier and cleaner than its unrebuilt cousins but is already beginning to cook off the red paint on the exhaust stack and collect some oil streaks on the "Golden Beaver" logo.

Description:  You see why the rebuilt/repainted engines like lead unit 8004 a couple photos back in the album are a welcome respite! The AC panel off a blue CEFX cousin is a "nice" touch.

"BNSF 4721 West, One Main, detector 137.3, no defects. 287 out."
Title:  "BNSF 4721 West, One Main, detector 137.3, no defects. 287 out."
Description:  All the Class 1 railroads treat defect detectors a little differently. CN's detectors on their ex-WC territory give an entrance and an exit message that includes the train direction and speed. CP's give an exit message only that includes the temperature, axle count, and track number (on double track sections), but not the direction and speed. They used to report the train length in feet, but this one currently does not. CP is also the only Class 1 railroad I've heard in Wisconsin where the crews acknowledge each detector report over the radio in the manner of the title.
