Third unit out on the CP-BN transfer today was this cool looking CP SD40-2. I was happy to see this unit still running, the first time I saw it, it was a helper on a rock train. |

The last unit in the CP-BN transfer today is another good looking CP SD40-2. If there is anything good about the Soo 60s being stored its that more CP SD40-2s will be around! |

CP-BN |
| Description: |
The CP-BN works its way into Saint Paul with an awesome lashup. Two GP38-2s and two SD40-2s, only thing that could make it better is if it was all 38-2s or 40-2s. |
