On Milwaukee rails! |
| Description: |
This transfer crew passes the Pigs Eye diesel house after dropping a cut of cars at the next door UP Belt Yard with a pair of veteran exx-Milwaukee Road ex-Soo Line "bandits." Note the "Milwaukee Road" lettering on the 1548's long hood. 33 years ago it was fresh-looking. Remarkable how long paint can last! |

Flooding? What flooding? |
| Description: |
The Pigs Eye hump power goes about their duties despite the flood threat from nearby Old Man River. Glad I wound up getting the DME or ICE unit on the right got into the shot. |

Humbolt Yard Stuff |
| Description: |
Four road units and two ex-Milwaukee switchers were the prizes I bagged on a visit to Humbolt Yard this day. The fact that "bandit" units still can be found in 2011 is one reason why I like the Canadian Pacific better than the Canadian National! |

Weathered and fresh paint |
| Description: |
The next two units I found in a big line parked by the Pig's Eye diesel house. The paint is a study in contrasts, but I prefer the bandit! |

Wow, What A Group! |
| Description: |
This is what I continue to like about the CP: they have quite a colorful collection of diesels, as evidences by this eclectic bunch parked down by the roundhouse and diesel shop at Pig's Eye Yard. |
