CP Expanding New York City operations

[Big Al]

CP Rail has been chosen as the managing operator of the refurbished 65th St rail yard/ float bridge terminal in Brooklyn. CP is contracting with shortline NY&A to do the actual switching but will handle additional traffic to New York on Saratoga-Fresh Pond trains 274/275.

I read this and got excited. The NY&A's Fresh Pond Yard is 3 blocks from my house and have already caught CP Rail here. Below is one of the more recent pics I've taken. You will notice CP SD-40/2 coupled to St.L&H SD-40/2 and NY&A GP38.
Happy Railroading!
