I recall seeing an SD40-2 sitting with freight cars, it stayed there for about two days.Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280765052181040000.post-27520833681134693602011-03-06T21:39:09.486-07:002011-03-06T21:39:09.486-07:00Thank you Eric. I'm glad you like the change, ...Thank you Eric. I'm glad you like the change, I figured it was about time to change. I was never very happy with it from the get go. This will tie it in with my design ideas for my future web page that I've been working on. The background picture of the signals is actually just up the tracks from the West Carseland Spur wye.<br /><br />It was a bit odd to see such a large unit doing switching on this spur and I was a bit surprised. Train C46 usually only has a couple dozen or so cars for the two plants.<br /><br />I'll be keeping an eye open for those elevator photos when you post them.<br /><br />Thank heavens I'm not like him! The unfortunateness wasn't all that bad really, it was mostly due to my lack of preparation and forgetfullness that day. Haha.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Jasonjddc.trainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011221055194946939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280765052181040000.post-6601022490239346872011-03-06T20:18:37.896-07:002011-03-06T20:18:37.896-07:00Hi Jason,

The signals and brown background are a nice change.<br /><br />Regarding the Brooks Sub, Steve Boyko also posted to his Confessions blog on June 23. I commented at the time that I'd photographed a lot of AWP elevators along the Brooks Sub from the vestibule of the Canadian. Still haven't posted these to Trackside Treasure, and it's now nine months later. Puttin' on my to-do list.<br /><br />Regarding the unfortunateness, it was starting to sound like Charlie Sheen there for a minute! Anyway, nice post and some interesting switching with a big CP unit.<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.com
