CP 3027 was down near the diesel house at Pigs Eye early on a Sunday evening. The good paint and intact numberboards seem to indicate this Can Pac vet is still active, but since she was the tail end of the dead line, she might have rolled her last miles for CP on the eve of CPKC.not know whether or not she has a future on the Canadian Pacific Kansas City. |

A Pair Of Uncle Petes |
| Description: |
In between photoraphing the two yard goat lease units parked at Pine Bend, I was happily surprised to see this Uncle Pete duo emerge from a nearby set of yard tracks and enter the old Chicago Great Western main line. |

This HLCX veteran lease unit is still at Pine Bend as well, one year on after I first photographed it here. This is the other yard goat at the refinery. |

Still At Pine Bend |
| Description: |
This CITX veteran unit is still a Pine Bend a year after I first photographed it here. This unit is no doubt one of the yard goats on this, the southernmost surviving stretch of the Chicago Great Western main line. |
