Description:  UP's impressive-looking Tier 4 SD70ACes have made occasional appearances on the CP since they first hit the rails in 2017. I had yet to get one leading until now - I was en route to do so in late August 2020, but my car's transmission blew up!

CP 8010 rear DPU on 199
Title:  CP 8010 rear DPU on 199
Description:  In the early days of distributed power on these daily intermodal trains, this 1x1 configuration (one on the front, one on the tail) was common. Now it has been a while since I last saw one set up like this as opposed to mid-train. This was rebuilt from CP 9541.

CP 6644 (D-Day Commemorative Unit) West, empty ethanol train 651
Title:  CP 6644 (D-Day Commemorative Unit) West, empty ethanol train 651
Description:  Birdsey St. at 1512. The number is a reference to the date of "D-Day" (for those who slept through history class, the day the Allies landed at Normandy in occupied France, generally considered the turning point of World War II in Europe), June 6, 1944. The paint scheme is based on that of the RCAF "Spitfire" planes used there. For the commemorative numbering, this engine was moved from its ordinary roster position of 7024. The other four military tribute SD70ACUs are numbered normally 7020-23. The next unit, 7025, and up are in the standard red paint with Golden Beaver logo.
