First Shot of My Visit
Title:  First Shot of My Visit
Description:  The first thing I did when I reached Union Depot on Train Days 2024 was snap this shot of CPKC (CP sub-lettered) 9375. I must admit the new look sure is snappy.

Waiting To Roll
Title:  Waiting To Roll
Description:  The crew aboard a westbound ethanol (?) train waiting at Highway 100 on the Paynesville Subdivision waits to roll on a lovely evening on the last day of June, 2024. I foresee snappy new CPKC paint (with CP sublettering) is in the 8024's future.

Units Active And Stored
Title:  Units Active And Stored
Description:  A glimpse from Transfer Road (via zoom shot) reveals units stored in the north side of the Commercial's yard. The paint on the second of these units here indicates a new arrival, the 45, which is an operable unit. Not sure what the 200's status is, but the 35, alas, is stored facing an uncertain future last I heard.

A Classic Logo Revised
Title:  A Classic Logo Revised
Description:  You know, I always liked how BNSF's first logo was a revision of the classic Santa Fe one; too bad the "swoosh" logo has replaced it.
