Middle unit on the CPKC mixed freight.
The 262 eases past 261s DPU as it reaches the switch for the south end of the siding, the ET44AC class unit leading. The two covered hoppers at right are in the siding for Pipelife Jetstream, which receives covered hoppers of plastic pellets to make PVC pipe.
The 262 ahows itself, just making its way around the curve north of Kenwood St
We were coming back from lunch, and I noticed cars sitting under the US 412 overpass. Must be a meet going on, or about to, I thought. We crossed over the tracks, looking south to see the home signal at the end of the siding lit green for the main. Good, the southbound in in the block, having passed the home signal at CP North Siloam Springs. We pulled down onto Lake Frances Drive, to find the DPU on the 261 train in the siding, and what would turn out to be the 262 not quite there yet,
