Canadian Chicken
"There is a CP 8111 somewhere in Topeka that just got GTBs" is what a text I received in the morning read. A few hours later, I was driving over Kansas Ave. when I saw a headlight pulling out of the yard. A few minutes later, said headlight turned out to be that of the aforementioned 8111!
Sure enough, it was paired up with the KCS 4852, and it was one of the "chicken trains" that have been running to/from the Cargill elevator via UP Haulage Rights for years. Now, following the merger, these have transferred over to the CPKC, as evidenced by the consist here.
