CP 6223 @ CP 100 - East Chicago, IN

Looking back at simpler times of 2018, CP train 147 from Toronto, Ontario heads west through the first interlocking on the IHB Kankakee Line of CP 100, while passing the vintage Conrail fork signal. CP 6223, a former SOO Line SD60 is at the helm, as it begins its final trek of the journey to Indiana Harbor Belt’s Gibson autorack facility in Hammond, IN. Taken: 3-4-18

 

CP SD60s are some of the hardest units to get leading road trains on the CP roster, unless you’re a resident of the Twin Cities were it’s a common occurrence. Even in 2018, 60s were starting to get hard to come by on foreign rail or in the Chicagoland area.
