2500 on this hill
Title:  2500 on this hill
Description:  Having the same consist that it did two days ago, the 2500 is still in the lead as it grinds up the hill towards New Brighton. Much to my dismay, the sun came out just a bit after this shot was taken, would have looked better with sun. However, its not everyday one gets to see one of the few SD35s around leading a train.

WC 7525
Title:  WC 7525
Description:  The 7525 was offically retired from the CN Roster in December of 2006, but was unretired to be used as a lease unit, or was it to paybacj horsepower hours owed to the UP? When either of the two expire, expect this unit to be retired again and back in the Homewood deadline. What made it even more special is that I went out on a wim.
