G64 comes home from a day on the Watertown Sub |
Description: |
Now we get to see 4008's "good" (not) side of the cab. The last two digits of the number appear to be scrawled on with chalk, not sure what happened with this three-year-old paint scheme. This job works mainline customers at least as far east as Watertown, perhaps Oconomowoc, on the days when it doesn't work the M&P. |

Rolling meet by the east switch |
Description: |
Eastbound manifest 288 is dragging its heels on the siding, it won't have to come to a full stop before the short local clears the switch. Why did the local get the main, you ask? Because it's riding the "lunar" signal behind westbound stack train 199. |

Description: |
I could see 199's last few container cars clear the crossing as I drove down Ontario St. It's anyone's guess what that tag job on the first car is supposed to be. |

Description: |
After getting one of the military tribute units and one of the heritage units, this is my first ACu in the "standard" Beaver red. They're relatively new and clean, so of course the clouds filled in just as the train arrived. |

CP 8638 with Beaver and Flags |

This caught my eye on an otherwise typically grimy and faded unrebuilt CP GE. Even the 8000/8100s which were rebuilt starting in late 2017 are getting dirty. |

288 has lately been a massive train and this day was no exception. Often it is operated in some sort of DPU configuration, but this time all the power was up front! |

CP 6236 |
Description: |
Over eight years after the Soo Line SD60s started to get rebuilt/renumbered and repainted into the CP roster, I still have seen relatively few of them (especially leading) and the once clean and bright red paint is visibly faded. |

CP 5966 third out on 288 |
Description: |
Snapped a roster of another faded Dual Flags SD40-2, one of several that has been floating around the Bensenville-St. Paul corridor this spring. They mostly appear in MoW duty such as ballast and rail trains. This one had hauled the weed sprayer train into Portage from the west during the previous week, then was taken off and 6043 added. |
