"Look Away/Sad Days/Across This Mighty Land" |
| Description: |
There she be, the last pure Canadian Pacific Railway freight train I will have ever photographed. This baby was arriving at the east end of Humboldt Yard on a gloriously warm and sunny Thursday afternoon, bringing Gordon Lightfoot's "The Canadian Railroad Trilogy" to my mind. |

"From The Eastern Shore/To The Western Strand" |
| Description: |
As the last pure Canadian Pacific train I will ever photograph began to roll into the maze of tracks at Humboldt Yard on an unseasonably glorious April Thursday afternoon, I was singing Gordon Lightfoot's "The Canadian Railroad Trilogy" out loud. Hail and farewell, Canadian Pacific. We will always remember you. |

"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. |

Transfer Job? |
| Description: |
A CPKC duo comprised of two CP SD30C-ECOs slowly moves east past Raymond Avenue shortly before 12:30 p.m. on the afternoon of the last Thursday of May, 2023. These units might have been power for the CPKC/Minnesota Commercial transfer job. |

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. |
