The modern day "Pepsi Can" screams through in the lead of No. 8 |
| Description: |
Amtrak painted a second batch of "heritage" units for their 50th anniversary in 2021. This was the one scheme that was overlooked in the 40th anniversary units, applied to the B32-8WH (A.K.A. P32-8BWH) locomotives when they were built in 1991. |

New Number, Same Dingy GEs |
| Description: |
This is my first encounter with CP train 247...but not really. It's the new (since late March) symbol for 281, the regular Bensenville-St. Paul manifest. The CN unit and the SD40-3 second and third out add some interest, but the leader manages to be particuarly unattractive with its large scorch mark obfuscating the long hood text. |

CP 5108 third out on 247 with engine room door open |
| Description: |
One of a small group of SD40-2s rebuilt to "SD40-3" in late 2017/early 2018 and renumbered. They were some of the first units to receive the "Golden Beaver" scheme upon its reintroduction. They were intended for yard service and received features such as the strobe lights accordingly. The Canadian-style bells mounted between the numberboards were also removed and replaced with electronic bells in the typical underframe location (visible just above and to the right of the front truck), but the empty mounts were left. To my pleasant surprise, this was not done to the recent SD40-2 repaints such as 6025 and 5973. Fourth time I've seen this unit since April 2018, always trailing on a westbound manifest. |
