ICE Cold on a hot day
Under the category of never did this enough, CP-D&H's daily Saratoga Springs, NY to Albany train 450-451 was noting short of interesting during the 2010-2012 time period. The train featured all types of EMD power. Iowa Chicago & Eastern SD40-2's came into CP's fold and were deployed system-wide including in the Northeast areas.This train was a definite favorite for the guys who lived close to the Capitol region near Albany. Everything from CP and SOO to D&H blue and gray, and colorful leasers plied the rails making it a must to see. Shooting the northbound run was not without its' difficulties, when the crew reached Kenwood and was ready to go north, it all depended how long lunch lasted whether you'd get sun on the northbound trip. We lucked out this day on July 2, 2011 with ICE 6430-6418 and CP packman 5750 crossing the Mohawk River in Cohoes, NY.
