Coal train with a surprise |
Description: |
Many of the coal trains in this period ran with CP power, but sometimes NS would let a couple of units run through. The GP 38 was an oddity-almost all the NS power on these trains was 6 axle-but the stranger in town was a surprise, and CP tunnel motor. |

Southbound |
Description: |
A southbound train is holed up short of the farm crossing at Afton waiting on a recrew. Quite the power mix. One oddity of the CR split was the chance to see Conrail power on the D&H, almost unheard of prior to that time. |

Everything but the kitchen sink |
Description: |
The 1990s and into the new millenium was an interesting time for motive power on the CP. They acquired a lot of second hand power and rebuilt some units. This 271 at Belden tunnel is a case in point. The leader?? Used. CP never had any SD45s. The second unit is a rebuilt GP 9, the third unit is an ex MP SD40-2 that was originally one of their general service units and di not have dynamic brakes. CP added them while they were on lease from GATX, then bought them. The white SD40-2 is ex KCS. Quite a mix |
