Late afternoon 557  Contributor's Pick!       
A 557 train for Toronto heads into the last rays of sun behind a double set of power. Four units was uncommon, as typical power was a GP9u/SD40. The power may have gotten out of cycle, or the train was annulled one day.

Brad Ketchen General Why did they normally use a GP9u/SD40 lash up? It seems like very little power for a container train. This picture is more like it. Very nice. 1/21/2012 10:48:30 AM
