Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) 6251 - EMD SD60

A nice former SOO Line SD60 is seen parked at Brownville Jct.

I had hoped to chase the loads heading out with 6251 leading for at least a little while, but after they sat for 2 hours I had to start for home.

They split the train, pulled the first half in, ran the power around, then pulled it back out, shoved it out of the way on the main west (photo left) of the switch, then pulled the other half in. This must be so they can get one section of the train on each of the two loading tracks, and already have the power run around to the east end for the trip back (since there are no additional tracks in the Pit).

H-15 heads to the Minnesota Commercial and the BNSF with today's deliveries.

Most of the drama is over as they pull toward the switch maintainer's truck.

CP 6251 is not happy about being awakened.

At last I caught a train leaving the Detroit Windsor Tunnel. An eastbound of all Autoracks was preceded by a wall of smoke exiting the tunnel followed by a pink 5612 and the anagram 6251 in CP Red. The train slowed and eventually stopped with cars still in the tunnel. On moving round to Dougall Avenue I spotted the head end again and found the reason why. There was a crew change was taking place.
