CP Rail Train at Cohoes, NY
After a day of dropping welded rail along the Colonie Subdivision near Mechanicville, a CP work train with an SD40-2 for power backs across the Mohawk River Bridge between Waterford, NY and Cohoes, NY. In the not-so-distant past, railroad photographers could shoot this angle all the time since the daily "Gas Train" used to head north out of Kenwood Yard in Albany in the late afternoon. Unfortunately, Train D45--the modern replacement for the "Gas Train"--crosses this bridge northbound in the early morning. If CP would just put D45 on the old "Gas Train" schedule, they could #MakeTheGasTrainGreatAgain
