Viewing Album:  Canadian Pacific/CPKC ex-MILW Mainline 2023-
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:4/10/2023 - 12/31/2025
Album Info:Always less standard cab EMD leaders and more dirty red GEs, but still enough variety to make the occasional trip to this line worthwhile. We'll see what changes the KCS merger brings about...

AMTK 317 about to slam Popenfus' crossing with No. 8 eastbound
Title:  AMTK 317 about to slam Popenfus' crossing with No. 8 eastbound
Description:  Popenfus' is a Milwaukee Road-era local nickname for Ontario Street. I thought the Siemens Chargers were hideous when the short-haul version first appeared on the Hiawathas several years ago, but they've grown on me, especially with the Phase VI and VII paint schemes!

Bright red Golden Beaver units look sharp in the late spring afternoon light
Title:  Bright red Golden Beaver units look sharp in the late spring afternoon light
Description:  Quite (pleasantly) surprising to us railfans that CP began repainting their remaining SD40-2s early last year, despite them being mostly relegated to MoW/work train service (like these ballast trains) by 2018 or so.

Description:  This unit had eluded my lens until now, although my dad caught a video of it leading a 281 way back in May, 2010 when it was still in CP Rail System "Dual Flags" paint. That scheme was badly faded then, and the locomotive would wear it for another twelve years!

Title:  Yard job backs into the Meigs spur to pick up some tank cars
Description:  The Meigs spur is actually the only remaining stub of the old Soo Line "P-Line" that once came down from Stevens Point (abandoned in the 1940s!), and the tail track used for headroom on it is a stub of the old MILW Northern Division line to Horicon/Milwaukee (abandoned between here and Cambria in the early '80s).

Hiawatha 339 glides toward Bain Station Rd. with a B32-8WH leader
Title:  Hiawatha 339 glides toward Bain Station Rd. with a B32-8WH leader
Description:  First train I've shot this far south (RR east) on the C&M Sub since I moved out of Milwaukee ten years ago. Of the handful of times I've caught one of these on the Hiawathas, this is also the only time I've caught it on the westward end, the usual place for the powered locomotive on these trains prior to the Siemens Charger era.
