Viewing Album:  Canadian Pacific/CPKC M&P Subdivision
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:6/26/2007 - 6/26/2023
Album Info:This line branches off of the CP's ex-Milwaukee Road main line through Wisconsin (Tomah/Watertown Subdivisions) at Portage and runs south to an interchange with the WSOR at Madison. It was one of the few Milwaukee Road lines to Madison to not go up for abandonment in the 1980s, and thus followed the natural progression MILW-SOO-CP, without being bought by the state and operated by a short line at any point. It is served by a local based out of Portage, usually M-W-F as of the late 2010s.

Title:  G64 emerges from the industrial park lead
Description:  They've spent almost three hours switching here, and still have a few more moves to make before getting rolling south again. About a year after it was last in Portage and assigned to this job, 3002 has once again popped up after the train was the near-exclusive domain of the GP20C-ECOs throughout the spring, summer and fall.

Description:  3002 is one of a handful of the 3000-series GP38ACs and GP38-2s to receive the "Golden Beaver" scheme. Most of them were in the old "Action Red" (with or without the Multimark) until the past decade, when they received the then-current logoless red with white "CANADIAN PACIFIC" lettering.

Title:  Not the usual red ECOs
Description:  The four-axle GP20C-ECOs have become extremely common on this line, largely replacing the prior mainstay Soo Line GP38-2s over the past 6-7 years. However, to find six-axle power on the local has been quite unusual.

Watching and Waiting
Title:  Watching and Waiting
Description:  G85's conductor looks on as 199 eases by on the main. They lost their air as they came to a stop for a crew change, and the outbound wanted to inspect the train as a result. This kept the junction blocked for quite some time, delaying G85's return to the yard.

Title:  UP 3064 East, CP coal train 813 for the Columbia Power Plant
Description:  Ontario St. (Popenfus') at 1701. I like the imposing look of the Tier 4 units from both GE and EMD. The "throwback" SD70M/AC style windshields and cleaner roof lines on these units compared to their ACe/M-2 predecessors are nice touches.

Labor Day M&P returns north (RR west)
Title:  Labor Day M&P returns north (RR west)
Description:  Caught this by chance while on my way from seeing Pat McCurdy's show at Lucky's Bar in Okee, to Columbus to catch No. 7 with 161 (new 50th Anniversary Phase I heritage unit) leading. This latter part ended up not happening, as the train struck a vehicle near Caledonia and was heavily delayed (fortunately minimal damage to 161, and the moronic driver who went around the gates in front of a 79 MPH Amtrak train somehow cheated Darwin).
