White flags
Title:  White flags
Description:  This early morning eastbound has white flags flying, indicating and extra train as it rolls out of the sun with 88 cars behind three big Ms. It was Canadian Pacific practice to run freights as extras, even if they had a schedule. As such, they flew white flags, a practice that had largely ended in the US.

Eastbound and Alcos
Title:  Eastbound and Alcos
Description:  This eastbound had an SD 40 leading, but three 6 axle MLWs in the consist for its 106 cars. Eastern Canada was Alco paradise in this time, long after the US class 1s had shed them from their rosters. Note the white flags, denoting an extra train. All CP freights ran as extras, and all flew the correct flags. This was another practice that was a lost art in the US.

Power change
Title:  Power change
Description:  This 553 train left Binghamton with CP 5646 leading. it must have crapped out somewhere on Belden Hill and this GP9 leader was brought up from Binghamton, or swapped off 556. Still, it looks good in clean paint, even if the delay has now put the train almost in darkness, now rolling on past GR with its 82 cars.
