Unusual meet |
| Description: |
On Aug 19 1995, a special train was run from Steamtown in Scranton to Syracuse using MILW 261, adding NYSW 142 at Chenango Bridge. Here we see 261 meeting 556 at the south end of Bevier St. As expected, the loon line is out in force. |

Everything but the kitchen sink |
| Description: |
The 1990s and into the new millenium was an interesting time for motive power on the CP. They acquired a lot of second hand power and rebuilt some units. This 271 at Belden tunnel is a case in point. The leader?? Used. CP never had any SD45s. The second unit is a rebuilt GP 9, the third unit is an ex MP SD40-2 that was originally one of their general service units and di not have dynamic brakes. CP added them while they were on lease from GATX, then bought them. The white SD40-2 is ex KCS. Quite a mix |
