Hello David---you certainly have a keen eye.I completely overlooked the numerical simlarities with SD40-2 5920 and AC44CW 9520.Quite a change in their appearances though
5920
9520

Sharp eye you have there, David.

Hello again---here's another shot of CP's big power spotted yesterday at Kinnear Yard---AC44CW 8882
Hello --- CP's Hamilton Kinnear Yard is becoming one of my favourite railfanning spots---not only big power,leased units but also grimy old geeps.Now if a steam engine would show up I would think I had died and gone to heaven.
Hello Everyone---Feb.26th was the first anniversary of the tragic and fatal derailment of Via train 92 at Burlington Ontario.All 3 crewman in locomotive 6444 were killed and many passengers were injured.An inquiry is on-going but excessive speed appears to be a major factor resulting in this accident.I was going through some old photos and came across #6444 taken during the 90's.
Those number boards on 9615 -- what are they telling us? One side is ex-SOO and the other is ex-CP?

Actually they are telling us we worry too much about being perfect with our models.

Does CP ever clean their units or just let the oil and grime build up.
Ed,
Looks pretty good from down here

Nice pictures Ed. Don't under rate those raptors. We used to have them fly ahead of us to take advantage of the meals that we would vibrate from the tracks, mostly mice and snakes. The would swoop down in front of us and grab these morsels. Mary says we were their "meals on wheels"
