Catching Some Rays
Title:  Catching Some Rays
Description:  CP 3002 and 2250 catch some rays on an unseasonably warm (at last!) day at Humbodlt Yard. Hard to believe the clock is ticking down on such hallowed initials as "CP". If only the bigshots were kidding about calling the new road "Canadian Pacific Kansas City"...

CP/MNNR Transfer
Title:  CP/MNNR Transfer
Description:  I first spotted this train when I was down by the MNNR roundhouse. I headed up to the former Amtrak Midway station to be in position when it passed by. The train pulled up and stopped for a short while, enabling me to snap this and a few other pics of the train.

Bound For Shoreham?
Title:  Bound For Shoreham?
Description:  I found these units coupled to some loaded COFC flats at the east end of Humboldt Yard this morning. I later saw a stopped COFC train near Shoreham Yard. Was this a train bound for Shoreham? Note the stopped westbound train in the background.
