Happy Thanksgiving!! For this weekend, here's the appetizer, the westbound Ross Local getting underway at CP2030 in June: The main course, a 9 hour late Empire Builder at sunset behind a freight motor from back in September: And for dessert, a somewhat tardy Empire Builder leaves Lonetree, ND is its taillights back in April: Sure was tasty, hope your Turkey Day was just as good!
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. From 01/28/1989 at Howell Interlocking in Atlanta, GA. The 4552 is former B&O 7408, an SD-35.
With two of those newfangled locos in tow... A nice blast from the past. Right behind the SD35 is a GP7! The old veterans showing the newbies how it's done.
Northbound through Rockmart GA back in May 2015 - On a normally very busy NS Atlanta to Chattanooga mainline, this would be the only train I saw that day.
Very cool! What pulls the southern US train? Interesting how CPKC has four different holiday trains, something I didn't know until just now. One for Canada, one for the northern US parts of the system, one for the southern US and one for Mexico!
