Title:
I always got a kick out of this
Description:
There were several NS trains that ran on CP south of Binghamton. One of them was 41T, an Enola-Toronto train that came up through CPs East Binghamton yard before gaining the NS Southern Tier Line at BD. It usually had CN power, and I loved the irony of the competitor using the same tracks. It was even better when 41T would run through as CP was getting one of their own trains out. Today is one of those days, as CP 419's power is moving onto the 1 runner from the north end of the shop, as 41T rolls its 75 cars through the yard behind a solid set of CN units.

One of each
Description:
A pair of SD 40-2s, a golden rodent from CP and a candy apple red SOO, are ready to lead this 419 out of the yard and on toward Buffalo. The crew and car department have a few last words as he gets the OK to go.
