The hogger aboard Canadian Pacific's Northfield job is getting the train clear of the yard in this shot, but the train is not leaving town just yet. The engineer will back the train up once it is on the main and then, once the switch is set back for the main track, back up to pick of the rest of the crew before departure. |

Golden Oldies At Union Junction |
Description: |
A westbound CP freight or transfer (I do not know which) passes Union Junction on a cool but reasonably pleasant Sunday morning in November. I sure hope this was not Soo 6061's last run. Two other fans were out chasing this train, which sometimes means something is coming to an end. |

Description: |
This and it's companion shot came out a wee bit fuzzy for some reason, maybe the lighting conditions did it. Anyay, the MP15 sandwiched between the Dash Nine and 40-2 is a bit of extra freight for the crew on this westbound general manifest racing through Long Lake, for it will be dropped off in Willmar. |
