Note the two paint schemes on these two Soo Line SD60's - original vs new. SOO SD60 #6029 was built by EMD in March of 1989 but was absorbed into the Canadian Pacific roster upon the merger. This is a Reuben S. Brouse slide and now in my collection.

The last of the fall color highlights the red leader as 261 rolls under the NY 282 overpass at Smithboro.
CP 261 rolls west through the Canisteo valley past some of the local farm products. A smattering of fall color still clings to a few trees weeks after most of the leaves have fallen.
This location is near West Cameron along the Canisteo River, an easy shot from the road. Nice view of a long curve.
One of the more scenic spots on the Tier is the big curve at Chemung. Trains look great rolling through. The old Erie station is partly visible next to the radio pole.

The Saint Paul Transfer rolls out on Soo 1 with two crew members out on the front deck/steps.
Soo SD60 6029 roars up Shortline Hill with another red and white 60 trailing on the Saint Paul Transfer. TJ Gaspers gives a friendly wave as it comes on by. With the SD60s on borrowed time, I've been doing my best to get the SD60s while I can!
A delightful sight in the form of two SD60's runs Main 1 as 171 arrives at Dunn on Main 2.
