BNSF 4467 - CP 8507 - BNSF 4164 |
| Description: |
BNSF 4467 - CP 8507 - BNSF 4164 triple on pause in the passing lane just before a plethora of action Sunday morning - what a great day to choose morning services instead of evening! Unfortunately I only have 18 minutes and counting before the bells toll. No problem... until that single set of lights in the distance on the other side of the bridge separates into two on-coming consists. Dang... and glancing out to the service area shows a whole pen full of units waiting to show up on a camera sensor. Double dang. (It also made it much harder than usual to select which images to put up to represent each unit/group, so if you have any special interest in any of these, holler and Ill see what I can do to fill any requests.) |

BNSF 4467 - CP 8507 - BNSF 4164 |
| Description: |
BNSF 4467 - CP 8507 - BNSF 4164 remains in the passing lane, the last glimmer of BNSF 5526 at the back of the fast northbound covered hopper consist in the distance on the now opening lane (just a handful of cars in front of the distant light tree) and the slower northbound BNSF 4005 triple-header gets a little breathing room as she passes off her port-bow. The remaining covered hopper sort shifting into the north ladder sort yard snakes into the frame (the new turn-table is immediately to the left of the frame). And thats all the time we have before the bells toll and signal were late. |

CP 8507 |
| Description: |
CP 8507 in second place on southbound mixed freight in the passing lane - and being passed by two northbound covered hopper groups plus another covered hopper string and tailend of an oil can being shifted behind them at the start of the north yard making it a challenge to get these particular units into the viewfinder between warehouse roofs (rooves? ruffs? exterior ceilings?). Of course, more importantly: can you believe it? After all my work at hints, insider jokes, and what-not... CP / Canadian Pacific undercuts my BNSF purchase of NS / Norfolk Southern! Dang. Missed your chance, Mr Buffet... then again, guess theres still time, but not much, since the CP buyout of NS has already made popular news (meaning its possibly six months to a year old news now that I see it in print). And what kind of livery is Canolk Pacuthern going to use? Wait - they have the dirty look down pat between them, so maybe it was a match made in Heaven. Darn - just realized, more losses to anything except the first few letters of the alphabet (AMTK, BNSF, CP... KCS & UP are working to be the only non-ABCentric railways? (I know - theres bound to be others, but what we see up here in the Pacific Northwest). |
