CP 2246 leads a Holiday Train as it has done every year since 2014 |
Description: |
Prior to that year, the Holiday Trains had been hauled exclusively by AC4400CWs since their inauguration in 1999. In 2014 and '16, 2249 hauled the US train while 2246 was assigned to Canada's train. This is also the first year I've caught it when the sun has been out for its daytime run through south-central Wisconsin, which brings out the clean red paint but dampens the colorful animated Christmas lights. |

CP 2246 powers the US Holiday Train for the fifth straight year |
Description: |
These trains were powered by CP's ubiquitous AC4400CWs until 2014, when a GP20C-ECO (2249) made its first apperance. 2246 has done the honors south of the international border every year since. I know these trains aren't run for the benefit of us "foamers," but something more special like an F-unit or one of the recently unveiled "Heritage" SD70ACus would be more appropriate in my opinion. |

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. |
