FXE 2046 and CP 5996 complete 2WWA-03's stellar EMD lashup
Title:  FXE 2046 and CP 5996 complete 2WWA-03's stellar EMD lashup
Description:  While their large, modern widecab units occasionally show up leading trains on both the UP and CP in Wisconsin, I never expected to see a Ferromex standard cab Geep! They would wye this unit at Portage and have it haul the train solo west from there on the following day.

FXE 2046 solo leads the weed sprayer train back east
Title:  FXE 2046 solo leads the weed sprayer train back east
Description:  After catching the three-EMD Chicago-Portage iteration of this train on Monday, I was disappointed to find out they had taken the other 2 units off, wyed this unit, then had it power the train west solo from there while I was at work. However, the train overnighted in La Crosse, wyed, and came back east on Wednesday!

Description:  They weren't spraying on this section (must have decided one pass WB on Monday was good enough) and moving faster than I'd seen them do before.
