Nice power |
| Description: |
Thanks to me not having any class today, I made a trip down to Northtown. Much to my surprise the WC had an awesome unit trailing, CN 2127, and former UP C40-8!! Its only the second one of them that I've ever seen before too. |

Up the Highline |
| Description: |
Here is a shot I've wanted to get for a VERY long time, but in order to do it right, you need to have some clouds. Here we see L506 rolling over a classic Soo bridge as it starts its trip back up to New Brighton. Last time I shot the 2517 it was in much better shape, but then again, that was four years ago. |

Oh Yeah! |
| Description: |
Here's a shot I got of L506 roaring down to Northtown with a neat looking lead unit! These 21XX series are freshly rebuilt and repainted, and used to be owned by the UP. They have a new lease on life thanks to the CN. I LOVE how this shot turned out as well! While I like how they look on the outside, I bet those cabs are pretty small! |

IC Blues |
| Description: |
When I first saw this unit leading I was very pleased because I hadn't seen one of these units in a very long time! The sun also bleed through the clouds a bit too when I took this shot which helped to make the colors pop a bit. |
