CP 171
Title:  CP 171
Description:  When I first saw this consist I threw on the four way flashers and stopped in the street to get this shot. And then I went to Glenwood with it! I think there comes a time when you just know you have to do something because there isn't always a next time in this hobby.

Title:  CP 171
Description:  The first half of the chase was pretty much just for fun, as the sun angle was too poor for any good results. But I did take one here just for the heck of it.

A Classic
Title:  A Classic
Description:  Growing up with the Wisconsin Central, I quickly developed a soft spot for the SD45's. To still be able to see them, even without their 20 cylinder 645, is very much a blessing in todays age. Shoot em while you can, although too many people just ignore leasers, they are definately some of the neatest and oldest units still around.

Title:  CP 171
Description:  With the two EMD's cranking out plenty of power to keep the train at the 50MPH track speed, the chase got pretty interesting and decisions had to be made quickly. They looked good dashing through the countryside.

CSXT 2476
Title:  CSXT 2476
Description:  After overhearing the runaround planning, I was quite peeved. Yet another spartan cab leader screwed out of the lead, its getting tough to bag them with any confidence anymore. The UP had congestion on the other side of Robert St, so the coke train had to run around its train on SOO 2 and then head into the Belt with the AC44 on the point. And it was at that point that I went home for some much needed rest.

Description:  CP 497's EOT flashes on as their former second unit, the 6036, has been set out for the CP 496 which is that beam of light casting its glow upon the scene. SOO 6042's valve has failed and can't keep the PSI up to workable levels, so the 6036 will be their new chariot.

CP 496-29 Woes
Title:  CP 496-29 Woes
Description:  A few days late, a dollar short, an SD60 short, and now a new SD60, CP 496 is ready to move once again after a terrible first few hours in. Or are they? Now they can't seem to arm the EOT, so they inform the dispatcher that they are now only able to go 38MPH under FRA rules. The dispatcher then informs the crew to just pull ahead and shove into the siding, and a cab will be on the way. What a night...
