CP 8646 leads eastbound intermodal train 198 through Tower CK |
Description: |
Notice the black top to the short hood (presumably to cut down on glare)...most of CP's vast AC4400CW fleet has red there. The unit's unusual appearance is due to a grade crossing accident at Moose Jaw, SK CA in 2014. She was repaired, repainted and released in May 2015. The 2 year, 4 month old coat of red is just as dirty as any of her more standard Golden Beaver sisters. CP has reintroduced that scheme on new repaints starting in late 2017. |

An anticlimatic first catch of H19 for me |
Description: |
After seeing many photos of this La Crosse-St. Paul wayfreight (and its counterpart H20) hauled by awesome mixes of SOO, CP and DME Geeps, I was bummed to say the least to find it a one-unit GEVO wonder on the day I road tripped out here. Although, that does make two 9300-series GEVOs in one day when I hardly ever see them. Usually the older 87/8800-series rule this line. |

G77 light power in the form of CP 2326 rolls north onto the Wall St. trackage |
Description: |
This was my main reason for road tripping to Winona. Street running trackage used to be fairly common in the Midwest, but most sections have been bypassed and abandoned where possible. This is one of the only active sections left. It is not a mainline but is used regularly by this job to service several industries along the riverfront. |
