Conrail with Southern Pacific
Title:  Conrail with Southern Pacific
Description:  I really wish I could tell you the unit number of the Southern Pacific locomotive. I did'nt have the sense to think about it back then, even though I thought it was pretty cool to see it in this area. I will take a guess that it's an SD45T-2. The train is westbound on track 2 at CP 300.

Westbound freight (another view)
Title:  Westbound freight (another view)
Description:  At the time, I carried a disposable camera in my work truck just in case. I caught this train around 7:30 AM with a purple colored switcher unit in the lash-up, and I'm really curious to know where it's from. It looks like the number on it is 1206, but I can't read the letters because the clarity of the shot is so bad. (date is an approximation)

CN power
Title:  CN power
Description:  We left our house to go for ice cream with the kids at around 6:45 PM and I swear I heard a crew calling signals for an eastbound movement with CN power. I was sure we missed them. After getting ice cream, I had my wife drive down near the tracks at the grain elevator in Jordan, and I barely had enough time to get an approach and going away shot! These two units are westbound here at around 7:15PM.
