CP 6308 in the yard |
Description: |
A WWA (work train) crew has boarded. Per scanner chatter, I think they later ran it light east to the Michels Pit at Waterloo to collect a loaded ballast train. |

A "gritty" P42 for the last run of "Gritty Palace" |
Description: |
At the end of today's No. 7 is the privately-owned passenger car "Gritty Palace," reputedly making its last run before retirement to a museum. You'd think they could have picked a nicer leader...whatever happened to the ALC-42s after just six weeks or so of service on this route? |

My DSLR's battery turned up dead, so I had to throw it on my car charger to get enough juice for this shot, so no photos of the Holiday Train shoving out and then pulling back in for the Portage show. |

CP 8917, solo head end motor on 248 |
Description: |
A sister is mid-train, typical of the blah power I seem to always encounter on other trains during Holiday Train chases. I never once, for example, caught something led by a SOO SD60 or ICE SD40-2 back when those things existed. |

Guide my sleigh tonight |
Description: |
The Holiday Train leaves Mauston. Since I didn't have to work at 3AM the following day and it was the first such train since December 2019, I decided to chase it a little farther this year. |
