Spic and Span
Title:  Spic and Span
Description:  As has been plainly evident since the first orders of rebuilds started hitting the rails in 2018, they accumulate dust and oil streaks quickly, so there's a very limited window of opportunity to get them looking like this! This may well be only the second revenue trip for 8209 and 8208, the first being the previous day's 288. Notice the dust/mud already apparent on the plow/undercarriage, although nothing above the sill stripe...yet. It also appears they didn't bother to paint the exhaust vents on this order, since it was getting cooked off within weeks.

Fresh From Fort Worth (or Erie)
Title:  Fresh From Fort Worth (or Erie)
Description:  8208/8209 are so new that no info is available on them online yet, such as what AC4400CWs they were rebuilt from or which GE/Wabtec plant they were done at.

Go Big Red
Title:  Go Big Red
Description:  Title refers to a cheer said by fans of UW-Madison's Badgers, but could also refer to traveling by a big, bright red train such as CP 8209 (and its sequential sister 8208) on the point of westbound manifest No. 287, here changing crews at the Portage yard office.

Cherry on Top
Title:  Cherry on Top
Description:  How many puns can I come up with to describe just how RED these locomotives are when fresh-from-the-factory clean? Depends on how many I can catch before they inevitably start to get dirty, I guess...

287 On The Pull
Title:  287 On The Pull
Description:  Following the crew change, they started rolling west on the main. Thinking they were blasting off, I hightailed it to a crossing west of town but waited over half an hour. They must have shoved in at Three Light to work the yard. The scanner was unusually quiet, I never heard them tone up the Wisconsin Dispatcher on 161.520 for signal indication. Also, normally if a westbound is going to work the yard it will either take the siding or cross over at the junction and go in from the east end.

Rebuilt ex-90MAC leads a short 288
Title:  Rebuilt ex-90MAC leads a short 288
Description:  The SD70ACUs have gone through "waves" of appearing and disappearing as lead units since their introduction, due to recurring gremlins with the PTC software and other technical issues. They would seem to be on a "crest" in early September 2021.

CP 5107 again
Title:  CP 5107 again
Description:  Prior to today, the only one of this group I'd seen was 5108. My only slight complaint with these rebuilds is that they left the empty mount for the old bell between the numberboards, when they installed the new electronic one under the frame.

New Number, Same Dingy GEs
Title:  New Number, Same Dingy GEs
Description:  This is my first encounter with CP train 247...but not really. It's the new (since late March) symbol for 281, the regular Bensenville-St. Paul manifest. The CN unit and the SD40-3 second and third out add some interest, but the leader manages to be particuarly unattractive with its large scorch mark obfuscating the long hood text.

CP 5108 third out on 247 with engine room door open
Title:  CP 5108 third out on 247 with engine room door open
Description:  One of a small group of SD40-2s rebuilt to "SD40-3" in late 2017/early 2018 and renumbered. They were some of the first units to receive the "Golden Beaver" scheme upon its reintroduction. They were intended for yard service and received features such as the strobe lights accordingly. The Canadian-style bells mounted between the numberboards were also removed and replaced with electronic bells in the typical underframe location (visible just above and to the right of the front truck), but the empty mounts were left. To my pleasant surprise, this was not done to the recent SD40-2 repaints such as 6025 and 5973. Fourth time I've seen this unit since April 2018, always trailing on a westbound manifest.
