Ready to go south
Title:  Ready to go south
Description:  Train 164 is ready to go at Terrace Drive as the last rays of sun hit the train. Interesting mix of power as always.

Parking lot shot
Title:  Parking lot shot
Description:  Train 413 is rolling past the parking lot for a restaurant in Afton. If the train got out early enough, especially in the short days of winter, getting a good side angle with some train in it could be a challenge. The feature here, though, is the leader, an ex SOO non dynamic brake SD 40. Bet the engineer was real happy with it coming off Belden and Richmondville.

Old power
Title:  Old power
Description:  Old power was not a big deal on CP. They had lots of it, and ran it til it dropped. The lead unit on this train is unusual in that it was originally one of SOOs non dynamic brake SD40s, a diesel that was becoming rare by this time.

413 on high
Title:  413 on high
Description:  CP train 413 was usually a reliable late morning departure going north, and was easy to chase. Here we see it behind a mix of power, including an ex SOO SD 40-2 leading the SOO SD 60 class unit on the high bridge at Harpursville.
