CP power, Soo buffer
Title:  CP power, Soo buffer
Description:  The DPU on the southbound oil train was a pair of CP GEs. The buffer for the 110 tanks(there was one on the south end as well) was also a Soo hopper. Good to see these fallen flag cars still at it.

I heard a train
Title:  I heard a train
Description:  And beat it out of the house toward town. I found the dodger at Kenwood St, switching Pipelife and was trying to work a shot there, when the northbound came up behind it. I didnt get him in Siloam Springs, but was able to beat him to Gentry, where I shot him off the Ark 12 overpass, along with a badly faded Bulbasaur. Three units in a merger consist have H SHKCs 56 cars rolling north.

Close but no cigar
Title:  Close but no cigar
Description:  I ran up through town after catching em all at the Ark 12 bridge, to try to shoot him at North Gentry, since the light favored the roadside shot there, and it was about the best light I was going to get on a northbound that time of day. For some reason, there was a lot of traffic, and I was barely able to get the head end as a Yellow truck passed, in one of those shots you see in TRP Magazine.

Out in the open
Title:  Out in the open
Description:  Finally the traffic relented, and I was able to get a good shot of the train as it rolled through the end of the siding.
