Caught him!!
Title:  Caught him!!
Description:  I was able to catch up to 41T at Campville, but I had a little help from the railfan chase vehicle, in this case my wifes Dodge Stratus R/T. It will go faster than most any train I need to catch, except maybe and Acela, though the jury is still out on that one.

SD 40s even.
Title:  SD 40s even.
Description:  One of the prime reasons a lot of fans went to Canada was the chance to shoot Alco design units in all kinds of service, something that had largely vanished in the US. CN and CP both had sizeable fleets of SD 40s as well. Two of them are eastbound with 75 cars at the Dorval Via station. This pair of widecabs is what was then a Canada only design, but would later be embraced industry wide.
