Through the mist and fog comes a westbound empty tanker train approaching MM50.6 on the Galt sub led by CP 8532 with BNSF 7564 on its way to Orr's Lake for a meet with UP 8399. It was nice to see a BNSF for a change. The UP turned out to be disappointing as it was running light power.

    The light power part was. The power itself was a nice treat.

    Train was 647 :) The UP would’ve been a 244 or 2-244. the UP went back WB this afternoon on 147 and was trailing in 2nd outta 4 units. 8800 leading. Nice catch Bill !

    I shot 140 and 254 around 4pm but didn’t hang around for 147 this time due to fading light and the dinner bell.

    Geez. You’d think with all that mild air and rain we’ve had, the snow would be non-existent; apparently not. Not enough sun these but nice documentation of CP action recently.
