281 motors out of town hot on 587's heels, 51x51 with four on the front |
Description: |
Pre-departure counts to the dispatcher were 51 loads, 51 empties. I was a little annoyed that between the wait for 288 and 587 to get out of the way, and an unexpected bank of low clouds obscuring the setting sun, I didn't get my anticipated sweet golden light shot of this. |

CSXT 5105 leading 287 is the finale of the dusk westbound parade |
Description: |
I'd heard this train arriving in town earlier over the scanner but didn't really expect to catch it, since they usually take a long time in the yard and the light was fading fast. However, almost as soon as 281's tail cleared Portage West; the signal turned lunar again, then to approach, so I stuck around. |

Coaxed some SD70ACUs out of hiding |
Description: |
It's one year and a day after I caught my first of CP's SD70ACUs leading a train (coincidentally, it was 7010, the trailing unit here). After they became quite common as leaders on this line last summer, they've largely disappeared since the start of the new year due to new PTC requirements and their ongoing issues with the software. This is train 681, sand empties bound for the Smart Sand plant at Oakdale. |
