Exiled To The Dead Line
Title:  Exiled To The Dead Line
Description:  CP 3027 was down near the diesel house at Pigs Eye early on a Sunday evening. The good paint and intact numberboards seem to indicate this Can Pac vet is still active, but since she was the tail end of the dead line, she might have rolled her last miles for CP on the eve of CPKC.not know whether or not she has a future on the Canadian Pacific Kansas City.

Title:  Just About Done
Description:  The UP local is about done dropping off a loaded CPKC (in faded CP Rail paint) flat car loaded with steel for Olympic shortly after noon on May 11, 2023. The flatcars you can see were empties for pickup, the tank cars, from a customer in Golden Valley, and the steel coil cars, from Ryerson Inc. The steel coil cars at right are loaded bound for the steel companies located west of Xenium Lane in Plymouth.
