"Beep beep/Beep beep/Yeah"
Title:  "Beep beep/Beep beep/Yeah"
Description:  An eastbound CPKC light power move with two CP units for power approaches Raymond Avenue shortly before 12:30 p.m. on a gorgeous late May afternoon. The engineer kept sounding the air horn due to a track crew in the area, and he even got a return honk from a southbound food delivery van on Raymond! Talk about "Beep beep/Beep beep/ Yeah", as the Fab Four sang.

Where Were These Guys Going?
Title:  Where Were These Guys Going?
Description:  A CPKC light power move passes empty TOFC cars on the BNSF as they slowly move east after passing Raymond Avenue. Not sure where these guys were going. Maybe headed for Pig's Eye, maybe coming to pick up cars from the Minnesota Commercial.
